I looked at the deletion discussions. It looked to me like personality
rights were never seriously considered.
The first three deletion requests were made anonymously, and the whole
of the request was just "Copyrights!" The fourth and fifth deletion
requests were closed by admins who gave no indication that they had
read the discussion on personality rights or the OTRS tickets, they
just said "kept per the other DRs".
Maybe if the requester knew how Commons worked, they wouldn't have
submitted deletion requests that looked so trollish. If they only sent
OTRS tickets and never tried a deletion request, the images probably
would have been deleted by now.
