The image deletion process is, unfortunately, institutionalizing the assumption of bad faith. See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:PUI#April 30 (specifically the discussion of the Himmler photo); people seem to be approaching the issue of image sourcing with the intent to delete as many images as possible, preferably for purely bureaucratic reasons.
When it comes to image uploads and tagging, I don't assume bad faith. I assume cheerfully aggressive cluelessness. I wish the problems were caused by people acting in bad faith -- it'd be easier to deal with, then.
