Personally, I doubt the image you're referring to would meet much resistance from gender-gappers. It clearly isn't cheesecake like the Michelle Merkin photo. In other words, its purpose isn't just to be sexually arousing to men.
That said, I think the image has little chance of being featured on Wikipedia anyway due to it being over-processed, but you're welcome to nominate it.

Hi all,
I read with interest recent discussions on the "issue" of having a photograph of a glamour model on the front page of English Wikipedia. I don't agree with most of the reasoning against having such photos on the front page, but respect those opinions.
I came across an image on Commons of Patricia de Leon which I have to say is AMAZING.[1] I have nominated it for FP on Commons, and it is in use on en.wp[2] and similarly could be nommed on that project for FP too.[3]
I'd be interested hear from gendergappers what opinions on images such as this appearing on the front page of Wikipedia would be.
Cheers
