My opinion
Decorative? The image should not be deleted from the Sylvia Mendez article. They are the parents of Sylvia Mendez who were American civil rights pioneers. In 1946, her parents took it upon themselves the task of leading a community battle, in which she was involved. that changed California and set an important legal precedent for ending de jure segregation in the United States. The landmark desegregation case is known as the Mendez v. Westminster case and is a subject in Sylvia's article.

This is the only image, besides Sylvia's in the article, therefore it is not decorative. If anyone wants to complain about an article with decorative images go to the article of Bozo the clown. Tony the Marine (talk) 22:55, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * "Decorative"in a Wikipedia non-free content sense typically means that the context required by WP:NFCC is not being clearly established; it has nothing to do with how many images are being used in the article. The article is about the daughter, not the parents, so it's not clear why the reader needs to see their photo, especially since the same image can be seen in the article about Mendez's mother. The non-free use in the mother's article is considered OK per item 10 of WP:NFCI because its used as the primary means of identifying the subject of the article who is deceased. If there was a stand-alone article about the father, then the file would be most likely OK to use there as well for the same reason. Using it in other articles just because the parents are mentioned in some way, however, is almost always not allowed unless the image itself is actually essential to the reader's understanding of the relevant article content or is itself the subject of sourced critical commentary. The content about the desegragation case does not really require that the reader see this particular image to be understood, and (per item 6 of WP:NFC and WP:NFCC) a link to the mother's article seems more than sufficient in this case.
 * As for the Bozo article, see WP:OTHERIMAGE as to why it is generally not a good idea to try and justify non-free use for one image by using another image as an example. All of the files in the Bozo article are images taken from Commons which either means that they are in the public domain or have been released under a free license. They are not licensed as non-free content and, therefore, are not subject to Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
