enough:
"Consent to have one's photograph taken does not permit the photographer to
do what they like with the image. ... The photographer and uploader must
satisfy themselves that, when it is required, the consent given is
appropriate for uploading to Commons."
That's the current guideline. If this were enforced, it would cut down on a
large percentage of the cases we're seeing, where there's no evidence of
consent to a release of the kind needed for Commons.
