I just sent this to wikien-l asking for helpers. Presumably there are tags, etc. for non-admin patrollers to tag suspect images. Something like this posted to other language Wikipedias would be a good idea, I suspect.

Commons is currently suffering a problem of a metric shitload of rubbish and copyvios, and not enough admins to do the cleanup work. Can anyone here help?
Patrollers who speak multiple languages are particularly valuable in this regard, but I expect anyone good would be reasonably welcome once they can show a reasonable amount of work on Commons itself. Spanish and Portuguese speakers are particularly encouraged at present, because es: and pt: only allow image uploads directly to Commons.
(I whined enough about it on commons-l myself that I'll be diving into shitwork on Commons soon as well ...)

Yes. {{delete}} and the {{subst:nsd}} and {{subst:nld}}
Just like on en.

Exxxcellent. I shall probably do a pile of this in the slack times next week when I'm on call ...
I put the same note on [[:en:WP:AN]] as well.

Yes. {{delete}}
I think the behaviour of template:delete is slightly different on enwp and Commons. For Commons, it is a deletion request (normal discussion, like IFD on enwp). On enwp, it is a speedy deletion marker.
For speedy deletion - these should be extremely obvious cases where no discussion is required, like album covers and obvious press shots and the like - there is {{copyvio}}.
At any rate, I encourage anyone interested in helping to install this - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Quick-delete.js (there are instructions there) - it will save you tons of time as it automatically notifies uploaders.
