Why is FamSearch going to delete a pic of a draft card?
I've seen many draft cards added to individuals' Memories section with no problem. See the file for Jake Olive Thurman LB19-GH2. The image of the card from Family Search. What is the reason for its removal? (I'm just asking to understand and to not do the wrong thing in the future.)

Assuming you got an email telling you about this, it will have been generated by a bot which frequently makes mistakes. If you reply to the email requesting human review, you may well find the restriction gets lifted; if not, you should be able to find out why.
We do know that the policies on uploaded images, while they haven't changed, are being applied more tightly now than in the past. Copyright or the privacy of living people may be possible concerns.

@LieberumBrendaYvette - the only thing that I would say, is that there doesn't seem much point to having the image of the Draft Card in his Memories. The index record for the draft is attached to his profile and it shows exactly the same image that is in the Memories. I'm a great believer in not making work for myself and adding the Draft Card to his Memories as well as having it in an attached source, counts as extra work in my personal view.
The only time that I will add bits of image from index records is if it makes something important really clear that wasn't clear before. For instance, passport applications with a photo of the person - I'll copy those into Memories even though they are in the index record for the application, because the photo is probably a small bit four pages in (say).
I'm NOT saying that had anything to do with the removal that you mention, but I do suggest that it probably isn't worth worrying about in this case.
