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_Room_Meeting.jpg
. 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.
