I think images should only be deleted when they're obviously copyrighted by someone else than the uploader or if they're used only to commit vandalism (and nothing else). In all other cases, admins doing the deleting should attempt to contact the uploader to get copyright info on the image and give them a certain amount of time to respond before deleting anything.

I'll go further and say that the image cops are doing more harm to Wikipedia than the same number of vandals.
I think that an image of unknown provenance should only be deleted if it appears likely to be someone's substantial commercial asset. That is the only circumstance in which a lawsuit is even remotely plausible.
Zero.
