I do not want to discuss whether the image is appropriate or not.
That's an issue that I do not want to discuss here, although I guess
it needs to be discussed. What I do want to state is that if there is
one Wikipedia page in one language where it *is* appropriate, and
1.499.999 pages on the various Wikimedia Wikis where it is *not*
appropriate, the one page that can use it should weigh more heavily
than those other 1.499.999 where it is not. And in particular, an
image should not be deleted from the *English* Wikipedia because it is
inappropriate at the *French* one.
