I hate to jump in on a conversation that seems to have ended acrimoniously, but it's kind of important considering image deletion isn't revertible. If Jimbo has decided that a class of images that are otherwise acceptable on Wikipedia in accordance with Wikipedia's policies are instead to be deleted wholesale, then why in heaven's name won't he just _say_ so in a public place? It's within his authority, after all, and would make things so much easier for everyone. Secrecy just doesn't make any sense.
Image deletion of images that are simply copied off other web sites is easily reversible. Especially as if they dont have a source URL they should have been speedied in the first place.
A few of the "fair use"/copyvio images have been scanned but not many.
