Can I give an example of an image that used to be on a userpage, but
was deleted?

I had on my userpage a photo I took from the top of a lighthouse in
New Jersey.  Next to it I had an image I created using Google Earth
which attempted to reproduce that photo.  I had a couple of lines of
text about how the two were created.

That's educational, and it's fair use, and the image was deleted.
