Thousands of bad images get uploaded every week,

no way to give each one 20 minutes of editor time to review.
The flaw in this reasoning is that it was not a recently uploaded
image - it's been on the site for almost two years.
This one was deleted because it claimed to be fair
use, but didn't link
to any article. That may seem extreme, but when we are dealing with
thousands of images the work really has to rely on the uploader.
Linking to the article has only recently been required. Imposing new
rules and then expecting someone who uploaded an image 2 years ago to
still be on the site to make that change is rather ludicrous.
