Instead of adding a major burden to admins deleting images (which is something that needs to be done; I'm fairly sure there are large backlogs), and slowing them down, and aggravating them, why not simply fix image deletion's permament deletion?
Off-the-cuff remark: Why not upload a new version of the image which is totally blank, and protect it with a note saying that if no consensus is gained to undelete the image in a month, it should then be permanently deleted?
Volume. Approximately 1,500 images are deleted every day. It's a slow enough process when the image is already orphaned, and clearly meets the requirements for deletion. Adding "blank, protect, and check back in a month" will just make things that much slower.
(speaking of images, [[Category:Orphaned fairuse images]] has a backlog of roughly 1800 items right now)
