I agree with this, of course. But en: treats unfree content as deserving of
many of the same protections from deletion as free content, and deleting a
"fair use" image that we're not actually using will provoke people into
accusations of ignoring process, abuse of admin tools, and may even wind up at
Deletion Review.
