In this case a small amount of care by the deleting admin would have avoided the problem. It should have been obvious that the file was a useful inclusion to the article on the named artist.
Though the deletion itself is easily undone once the error is discovered... Almost as easily as the section removal. Asking human resources to spend perhaps 10x the amount of time on an unused image just doesn't scale well, that process is already way over taxed.
That wasn't the case at the time of the deletion. File archiving came in in about June 2006. Many files were deleted before that, often for specious reasons.
I know, not your point.
