 :::No... the photo is of a man beating another man to death. The Somalia Affair has to do with a lot more than that. And I'm afraid Wikipedia's importance scale does indeed make it clear that an article's importance is not established by what some random ""book editors"" think of photos that are (or, in this case, are not even) featured in it but by the actual topic of the article itself. An example, taken from the relevant ""Criteria"" column in the importance scale table: ""The article is one of the core topics about Canada. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are listed on Canada topics"". Note how it says the article and not ""the photo"" (or rather, ""the deleted photos"" in this case), and that said ""topics"" are listed on a page of Wikipedia articles (i.e. ""Canada topics""), not photos. There's a good reason for that.   "
