identifiable people vary hugely, from &quot;why should we need consent<br>
anyway?&quot; to &quot;any photo that has no subject consent is obviously illegal<br>
and msut be deleted&quot;. &nbsp;This divergence of views is causing uncertainty<br>
and inconsistent keep/delete decisions on Deletion Requests. &nbsp;The<br>
uncertainty is harming not also Commons but also its Wiki &quot;customers&quot;.<br>

More comments are needed on the talk page, especially - if I may be<br>
permitted to canvass mildy - from users who have views that are not at<br>
one end or the other of the spectrum. &nbsp; Please don&#39;t just leave the<br>
discussion to those with very strong views.<br>
