This is generally a straightforward decision per
Commons:Photographs
of identifiable people. If the photos were taken in a private place,
consent is required. If the photos were taken in a public place,
consent is not required (with exceptions for some countries). What was
the justification for not following the Photographs of identifiable
people guideline?
That probaby has to do with the fact that some people tried to
(ab)use
this rule to get images deleted they didn't like. Say I take
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Foundation_SOPA_Boiler_Roo…
. If I would want to get rid of that picture I just say we don't have
consent documented. For this picture we're probably able to get that
afterwards because we know these people, but for most picture this is an
easy way to get images deleted which you don't like.
