Material in the public domain or under a fully free licence does not require any kind of fair use consideration.
I'm not talking about genuinely free material, I'm talking about protected (copyrighted/trademarked) material being uploaded by others - for example a periodic table of elements or medical charts which would normally be subject to deletion (except that they are currently immediately available for sale!).
I'm a little confused - surely we would delete this stuff whether or not there's a "buy a print now" clickthrough button? I can't see anyone arguing to keep it because they want to run off a poster...
(and to a degree this is rendered moot by that helpful "lowest useful resolution" requirement of the unfree material rules)
