Forgive me for not getting this, but why not just let
it languish on VfD? It's clearly not going to get
deleted.

The 'legitimate' reason for the complaint, I
gather,
is that the
images are marked copyrighted and explicitly deny
the right to
redistribute outside Wikipedia. However, VfD is not
the place to take
this. That issue is with the copyright status of
the images, not the
appropriateness of the page. The page itself is
about Wikipedia and
is in a User: namespace, so there are no problems
there whatsoever.
However, I suspect the above is only the ostensible,
not the actual,
reason for the listing. Given Anthony's history,
he's trolling,
possibly to "make a point".
