Yesterday I came across a beautiful panorama, one which any reference work would be thrilled to have, which had been *casually* put up for deletion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wuerzburg_panorama.jpg
Maybe it was me, who removed it from the article. Those panoramas are ugly and they give a wrong impression. We can surely keep it on commons but using this picture prominently in the Würzburg article is not appropriate.
Of course I vote to keep all images, even so called orphans. Unfortunately, some admins on the German wikipedia are very proud for all their deletions :-(
This kind of careless deletion must stop. It should be unacceptable to list a borderline image for deletion, and only afterwards notify the uploader, who may not even visit Wikipedia every week.
Agreed. BTW, it is very strange that every tiny change is listed on the watchlist, but a deletion is not.
