Hello. I'll try my best to answer your questions.

Alright for the first paragraph, should there be questionable legality regarding images (or videos or even text) then you are well within your right to remove it.

HOWEVER, for something as big as that, I would highly suggest (or suggested) creating a forum post outlining your plan of removal, your reasons for doing so, what exactly will be removed, and the search for replacements since they're images. Then leave it open for about a week, so any members of the community can offer support or objection, or simply ask questions and be made aware of this huge change. This is also useful should Staff be contacted, and you can show them the post.

(Personally I go by the rule of "if no one objects, then it's passive acceptance" regarding decisions like this on my own wiki.)

And to answer the second paragraph: Regarding the "Community creation policy":
 * Free content: Text on FANDOM communities is available under a free content license, meaning the information you put on the wiki can be copied and reused by anyone.

and


 * Public editing: These are community projects, not personal websites. They are not owned by their founders, nor does the founder's opinion carry more weight in disagreements than any other user's opinion.

Meaning the moment someone transcribes something on the wiki in text, it's no longer "their" work. It belongs to the community and wiki. There seems to be a misunderstanding regarding what a wiki is and isn't. A wiki IS a community-built resource that many people can contribute to, a wiki IS NOT a fan-site some sole person or persons can own and control the content over, such as large-scale removal.

So yes, removal of an entire wiki is in fact, vandalism and in bad faith editing simply because the admins did not want to run the wiki anymore. This is why things such as adoption of wikis exist.
