Someone else's problem - therefore not a problem?
I also think that deleting useful images just because it is possible to
imagine a dispute without any evidence that such a dispute has ever occurred
goes against the concept of freedom of information
I call on the WMF to take this matter very seriously and declare a policy
before any mass deletion starts
Cheers,

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Radiological images
So, there has never been a copyright or privacy
dispute involving any
actual radiology image, nor has anyone been able to find any evidence
of a hint of any such dispute. The law is silent on the question
because there has never been such a dispute.
Yet some people want to delete hundreds of such images, profoundly
harming the quality of the encyclopedia, on the theory that some day
their might be such a dispute.
For those of you who treat WP:IAR as if it is not policy, how do you
look yourselves in the mirror?
