That's not a problem in this case, as the photo /was/ in facebook. The problem was identifying the prior one.
No, a *similar* (smaller) photo was on facebook. But the reference in commons wasn't to the photo, it was merely her own facebook page. That triggered something in the script/search that Yann used.
I've checked and it's only 553 KB on facebook, and 8.35 MB here. By no stretch of the imagination is it possible to have been copied from facebook.
My guess, as I'd stated in the discussion:
Did you actually check the dates and times of posting in two places? Or did you simply search for the word facebook, and nominate a large number of photos for deletion?
I'm sure he didn't find the similar photo, as it was no longer visible. He'd have had to search back 63 wall photos (I just checked). It took me over 10 minutes to find, and I knew it was there somewhere.
Yet we know he didn't spend 10 minutes, because he posted several deletion pages per minute:

Out of curiousity, I just checked the post before Aguilar: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Multiply-i...
Yann posted: "From Facebook. No permission." No rationale. Nada.
Refers to: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Multiply-inbox.PNG
That says: "Multiply, Social Networking, Alternatives to Facebook" and is used to illustrate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply_%28website%29
Obviously, he didn't even look at the photo. It's not "from Facebook."
He's a fraud. All of his deletion requests should be denied. I'm formally asking that he resign or be removed as administrator.
