Regarding stuff like File:Ocean Master painting.jpg and File:Dick training.jpg, they sound like files which may have at some point been used either on character pages or episode pages.
Is it possible that whoever uploaded them had initially added them to articles and that they were in use, but that someone could have removed them? Instead of deleting them, why not restore them to where they would belong?
I also don't understand stuff like deleting Richard as a redirect. The use of redirects is pretty fluid, and there are many cases where people end up typing Richard or Dick over and over again cluttering the source when a redirect would make it a lot simpler.
