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.

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.
