Various people have tried through various ways to censor facts presented in the article titled "Vaccine controversy." The latest such attempt was to delete a number of graphs that show that mortality rates in Australia for a number of infectious diseases had decreased before the introduction of vaccines. The images were listed for deletion for alleged copyright violations. I obtained permission from all relevant copyright holders, noted this fact in the listing for deletions, but now I find that the images were deleted anyway.
The names of the images were: Image:Austr mort diphtheria.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_diphtheria.gif Image:Austr mort scarletfever.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_scarletfever.gif Image:Austr mort measles.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_measles.gif Image:Austr mort typhoidfever.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_typhoidfever.gif Image:Austr mort polio.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_polio.gif Image:Austr mort whoopingcough.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_whoopingcough.gif
These images must be undeleted immediately, and appropriate action should be taken against the individuals who deleted them in violation of policy.
Dear Leif,
I do not think images can be undeleted, so what you need to do is upload the photos again, provide the copyright information and put them back in the article.

But don't do this if they were validly deleted.
If you claim to have permission, I can imagine two reasons why the images would have been deleted: 1) The permission was not verified (this is up to the uploader) 2) The images were with-permission only. As of a mailing list post a few weeks ago from Jimbo (http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-May/023760.html), images that are used on WP with permission but do not fall under any other category may be deleted.
