Actually it's ALREADY changed. Stupid fair use claim = delete on sight
if it's been on the site for atleast a week.

In a project of this sort, it should be *easy* to

The burden of proof should be heavily on the person to convince that
it is *not* copyright infringement. All use of non-free images should
be considered copyright infringement *by default*, and only considered
otherwise after convincing reasoning. It's a place where "assume good
faith" is a bad idea (I've had people criticize me for not "assuming
good faith" when people just label images as PD without providing any
explanation and I ask for some reasoning) because there's more at
stake here than a user's desire to help the project (i.e. a user's
understanding of the copyright categories they are dealing with).
I agree completely. Last time I checked, the deletion policy is very much so
biased toward keeping everything by requiring a supermajority to delete. It
should be the other way around whenever a fair use claim is made.
Please, let's change the deletion policy on this ASAP.
