hmm, good point! The unfriendlyness could perhaps be tackled by a message
on the talkpage of the uploader? (or did that already happen?). Also
replacing it with an alternative template "it was uploaded for WLM, but
unfortunately outside the allowed timeslot" in friendly wordings would be a
good way.

Most concerns are for removing the WLM template, for
any reason, by bot
or not. It can be seen as an unfriendly behaviour to exclude a file for the
contest. In fact, the submission was intented for WLM, successfully or not,
as the template reads. A solution is to keep the template with a note, i.e.
"uploaded after deadline", "not a registered monument", "not a
participant
country", etc. The template with any note can categorize instead in "Images
from WLM in XX not validated" keeping track of them and allowing any
revision. But this is an option to discuss for next year.

Dura lex, sed lex - but I would like to avoid such situations. This
guy was really angry - his pictures were really good - so in fact -
Wikimedia Commons lost a good photographer.
