"Work for hire" means CBS International is the copyright owner rather than
the person who took the photograph or who's in it.
If it has not been released under a free license by the copyright owner it
can be deleted.

Looking at user contributions, I don't see this to be the case. Was
there a deleted edit you're referring to?
and therefore presumably the copyright owner.
The copyright owner of that website is more likely to be CBS
International. The website is most likely a work for hire.
Since
this is user space, and the content is an "about us" bio, not
commercial content, I think that blanking and deletion are a bit
excessive. On the other hand, copyright is copyright I guess. What
does the panel think?
Who's "the panel"?
What I think is that you're both arguing over something completely
pointless. It's just a user page.
