Their rules for deletion basically amount to there being some interest in the image, or that it serves some useful purpose. Often a clear description is all it takes to avoid deletion - a picture of a house without description may be deleted as there are many houses, but a picture of a house with a description that identifies it (even if it's a boring house with no special merit) that may be enough to prevent deletion. I think it's worth asking them. Somebody would then have to write a bot that integrates with wikimedia (maybe putting images into a "Used on OSM" category). Would they see it as being worth the effort? We won't know unless we ask. -- Paul
