The only problem I have in this situation is that anyone could come on, register a username on Commons and say "Hi, I'm XYZ, I didn't consent to my image being taken and used on Wikipedia, please delete." Ideally, we'd do this through OTRS rather than on-wiki so we can confirm that the people requesting deletion are who they say they are. Until we have enough people to handle these issues, we should err on the side of caution - in this case, probably deleting. -- Tom Morris <http://tommorris.org/> _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
