This is a good idea. It allows to fix things more easily.

No, but this is precisely what is happening right now. Which is why I 
raise up the issue.

Two weeks ago, there was a wide call on the french pump to go vote for 
the deletion on the english wikipedia. The intent of such a vote was 
only to prevent this vandalism. This was the only solution some french 
editors found to limit vandalism locally. I do not think it is a good 
solution. It should be the choice of english editors to keep it or not 
keep it. And the vote should be strictly limited to voting for a regular 
use (on article).

Ultimately... finding tools to deal with this type of vandalism will 
help such images to be kept on projects.
