OK thanks for the link, yes that discussion is a good example of how
Commons does fail with flickr licensing issues, part of that problem is
that Flickr doesnt explain that cc licenses are irrevokable and that we
dont check personality rights when uploading from flickr.
What was linked in this discussion has been a witchhunt and stand by that
and my review of the Stalin photo discussions.
Question why with a number of Foundation people on this list havent these
photos just been deleted as an "office action", I know its big stick action
but at least it resolves the immediate issue that these should have been
deleted.
in the Obiwolf discussions one closure was a coi and it was also the
discussion that raised the personality rights. IMHO that sufficient reason
to reopen the discussion
As a side issue maybe we need a spedy criteria for OTRS agents to tag
images where its outside the normal
reasons<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Criteria_for_speedy_de…on>.
though point 5 " Missing essential information." should have caught these
ones

Tim's descriptions of the deletion discussions referred specifically
to the ObiWolf images. Reading those discussions and posts to this
list, I don't think you can conclude "the system we have works very
well" - at least not in those cases.
Yes, I was talking about the ObiWolf images.
Admins have to deal with a ton of crap every day, and decisions need
to be made quickly if there is to be any hope of keeping up with
demand. I didn't mean to lay blame, I just think that the DRs should
be reopened, with more care taken in the opening paragraph of the DR
to guide the admins in the right direction.
