Since the issue is mainly (although not strictly limited to) consent of identifiable persons, it seems that the least disruptive solution would be to blur the faces in the photographs. There is precedent for this on Commons, and I think it would be harder to argue against than outright deleting them. If they are nominated for deletion we already know what is going to happen: everyone is going to concentrate on the licensing issue and ignore the consent issue. If we just blur the faces, at least that forces people to discuss the consent issue on its own merits.

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.

Office actions are typically initiated by the community department and
approved by Sue Gardner. I think about one per year gets approved. You
don't just do them because you care about something.

I could just delete the images, but someone would probably revert me.
If they need to be deleted out of process, it's best if a
well-respected Commons admin does it.
