I would like to throw this back in a positive direction. The task of deleting poor quality photographs (and metadata/provenance/paperwork is part of quality) is made much easier if we have good quality photographs of the same topic. Nobody cares about deletions of bad photographs when those photographs are no longer used. They do care when it is the only photo of its kind, because it is a precious resource.
An excellent point, John.
I wonder if there are organizations that (1) are concerned about gender issues on Wikipedia, and (2) have the ability to generate a substantial collection of high quality images to illustrate this sort of thing to the commons. If so, there might be a great partnership/project opportunity there.
