This is what the image cheat card says regarding cover images (which I'm assuming is where these deleted Benny and Evelyn images come from). We're also against publicity images in general to illustrate TV characters, and I believe that this is an extension of that.


 * Acceptable as illustration of last resort. When there are no other images of a thing — because the thing exists solely in audio or prose stories — a cover image may be used.

These characters are not solely illustrated or photographed on audio and prose covers.

Evelyn exists in webcast illustrations (and from what I can gather, Irving Braxiatel is also from an animated webcast), while Benny appears in-narrative in Pureblood and other DWM stories. Per our own policies, we cannot use photographic images of the audio play actors just because they look "better".

And being outdated isn't an especially good justification. The Ice Warrior page uses a photograph from the black and white TV era in its infobox because it's a tight close up and representative of Ice Warriors as a whole with the "mask" (which Ice Warriors are rarely seen out of), not to mention that it's not in a really dark submarine set.
