I assume you're using the term "staff members" to refer to "wiki admins" - paid employees of Wikia are known as "Wikia Staff", so the use of the term "staff" usually refers to them.

Yes. It is theoretically possible to use some javascript to make a list of images, with checkboxes, at batch delete them this way.

It would be relatively easy to create a script add checkboxes beside images on Special:UnusedFiles.

http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/AjaxBatchDelete is an existing tool which you could use for this purpose, but instead of a list of checkboxes, you simply copy/paste filenames into the list, enter a deletion reason at the bottom and click the button.

So, you can go though Special:NewFiles or Special:UnusedFiles to see the images, and copy the file page names there.

Be aware that you need to use "File:Example.jpg", rather than "Example.jpg" or " http://wikia.blah/.../Example.jpg "

edit: I see that this was already mentioned earlier in the thread. I assumed that Adriano 25 had already read the thread and had not found an answer, so I didn't read this thread again. I'm sorry for assuming that other people read threads.
