I am cc'ing this to commons-l, since this discussion belongs there anyway.

So it would seem to me that we shouldn't have the trademarked images
that we can only use in limited cases anyways.

Yes, delete it. Stuff like this should be speedy deleted from commons,
I think. Commons should tend very strongly towards purity, not
comprehensiveness. There can be strong editorial reasons for including
such things in the encyclopedia itself, and "fair use" makes an
appearance there, but in commons, we should tend towards purity. Strongly.
