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.
