This does seem unreasonable. Do they have an explanation at Commons? This is happening without standardising in one label Wikipedia, so it is jumping to quite a conclusion to assume that the issue is related. For the record, I am also opposed to rebranding to Wikipedia, but I do not think this issue is necessarily related. Cheers, Peter

At Wikidata we have people who are notable according to our standards. We are actively asking them for images to illustrate our information. The best suggestion we get is: do not ask for images because they are deleted at Commons. When this is what awaits us when we standardise on one label Wikipedia, it is obvious that this is the worst scenario for the "other" projects. The projects who operate to different standards who have notability criteria different from English Wikipedia.
