Those people are identifiable and in a private place. If the photographer showed up and denied having consent, would we not promptly take that photo down?
This is exactly what happened. The photographer showed up. He had his identity verified. He said he did not have model consent, and both he and the models badly wanted the images taken down. He asked six times. He was refused six times. You voted in favour of taking the images down, but were outvoted.
So no, Commons would not take the image down, even though Commons policy says it should be taken down.
