I agree with Ec entirely.  Image deletion is broken precisely because
it cannot be undone; please do not use it when deletion can be
avoided.

It is also the duty of text uploaders to describe the text's source,
and justify its applicability to the article; nevertheless, we engage
in discussion with editors rather than deleting insufficiently sourced
work.  This mainly works because you can remove text from a page
without deleting it from the edit history.

Consider creating a quarantine for images that appear to be improperly
tagged, or improperly used; removing images to that quarantine, and
leaving them there for a reasonable length of time (a month?) before
deleting them.  If anyone tries to remove a quarantined image, they
must give an explanation or proper tag.
