Forgive me for not getting this, but why not just let it languish on VfD? It's clearly not going to get deleted. Mark

The 'legitimate' reason for the complaint, I gather, is that the images are marked copyrighted and explicitly deny the right to redistribute outside Wikipedia. However, VfD is not the place to take this. That issue is with the copyright status of the images, not the appropriateness of the page. The page itself is about Wikipedia and is in a User: namespace, so there are no problems there whatsoever.
However, I suspect the above is only the ostensible, not the actual, reason for the listing. Given Anthony's history, he's trolling, possibly to "make a point".

I find this amazing.
Raul creates a page, [[User:Raul654/Boston]], in
blatant violation of
[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] (see #15).
The page consists of a bit
of text and a number of images all of which
violate [[Wikipedia:Copyright]]
("If you contribute material to Wikipedia, you
thereby license it to the
public under the GFDL"). I list the page on
[[wp:VfD]], stating that it
violates "Wikipedia is not a file repository",
and I get blocked.
Yes, perhaps it was technically not against the
rules for me to be blocked
(at least not provably so). But give me a
break, this is just ridiculous.
