> [...] Must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. [...] > File in use in another Wikimedia project [...] [OR] > File in use on Commons only: An otherwise non-educational file does not acquire educational purpose solely because it is in use on a gallery page or in a category on Commons, nor solely because it is in use on a user page (the "User:" namespace), but by custom the uploading of small numbers of images (e.g. of yourself) for use on a personal Commons user page is allowed. Files relating to projects or events of the Wikimedia community, such as user meetings, are also allowed. > [...] For example, the fact that an unused blurred photograph could theoretically be used to illustrate an article on "Common mistakes in photography" does not mean that we should keep all blurred photographs. The fact that an unused snapshot of your friend could theoretically be used to illustrate an article on "Photographic portraiture" does not mean that we should keep all photographs of unknown people. The fact that an unused pornographic image could theoretically be used to illustrate an article on pornography does not mean that we should keep low quality pornographic images (see also Censorship). > [...] Examples of files that are not realistically useful for an educational purpose: > Private image collections, e.g. private party photos, photos of yourself and your friends, your collection of holiday snaps and so on. There are plenty of other projects on the Internet you can use for such a purpose, such as Flickr. Such private image collections do not become educational even if displayed as a gallery on a user page on Commons or elsewhere.

For example in many countries, you must sign individual waivers if you want to publish the photographs that include identifiable humans. This is especially true with Commons, because the purpose of uploading is to contribute the content in a manner which allows other contributors to edit, remix and reuse your photographs in ways that you or your models did not anticipate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_privacy#Right_of_publicity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_privacy On Wed, Aug 26, 2020 at 11:54 AM Thibault Molleman < thibaultmolle...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ah ok, I had a bunch of my images deleted that I uploaded when i was a kid > (maybe not the smartest thing to do at the time.) > They were birthday photos and put them up cause figured it could work as > stock photos (remember one site actually using one of them) and they got > deleted a couple years ago. > (looking back on the deletion requests.
