Keep. I would have no problem with deletion of File:Hadji Ali - water spouting.png, as redundant, and of poorer quality than File:Aly, the Mysterious Egyptian.jpg, but that has nothing to do with this baseless, empty nomination. One of the three is a featured picture, and three of them are in use not just at numerous locations, but at an English Wikipedia featured article (w:Hadji Ali), not that that matters. The reference to "Non-encyclopedic" indicates a conflation between the purpose of the Commons and that of Wikipedia; such ground has little relationship to Commons:Project scope. These are: media files in allowable free formats, in the pubic domain, that are realistically useful for an educational purpose.
