I would argue that's correct, at least in theory. A title and a description are
different things (and will have different fields in the structured data);
having a title is no reason not to add a description as well. For one thing,
key concepts should be wikilinked in the description, which practically never
happens in the artwork/book titles. Also, the titles are messy - e.g. half the
HABS ([[c:Category:Files_from_the_Historic_American_Buildings_Survey]]) images
have a "title" which is the concatenation of the actual title and the
description; for other files it is a concatenation of the actual title and the
source. So there is no reason to exclude these files from a description cleanup
drive, IMO. For the same reasons, I don't think it makes sense for the template
to pretend its title field to be a description.

In practice, we might want to say such images are less problematic than ones
with neither title nor description and the category should be limited to those,
at least initially; I'll defer to you and Guillaume on that.
