In the interest of improving our approach to model consent on Wikimedia Commons, I've been exploring some photos and nominating some for discussion and possible deletion. This one, in particular, I think would merit some discussion by members of this list:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Ragazza_e_bimba_in_braccio.jpg

It's a photo of a new mother and her daughter, uploaded to Flickr by her brother.

To what degree should WM Commons require model consent for a photo like this? I believe the policy I cited offers some useful guidelines: http://c.enwp.org/wiki/COM:IDENT

What do you think about this specific photo, and about photos like it?
