Well, last time I checked it was official policy

to living people who we have free photos of than to living people whose

publicly available photos are press kit stuff. (Personally, I think that
policy went too far, but I seem to be part of a tiny minority, and when
you
consider that I think our present policies for non-free content are
generally inadequate and too permissive, I'm probably not even a

Official policy? Where? That does seem kind of nonsense. One should look
at
the article/topic to decide to delete the article or not. Not deciding on
the basis that it has pretty picture attached to it. The reverse is also
true of course, pointless to delete an article on the basis it has no
image.
I was referring to the policy of refusing to accept non-free images of
living people solely for the purpose of illustrating their physical
appearance.
