Stop. Your latest proposal was comprehensively and unanimously rejected on
commons[1] and the previous attempt received a similar response on en.wp[2].
This post mixes unrelated issues (policy vs permissions vs deletions), looks
a lot like inappropriate canvassing[3], and it's not even clear that you
have any justification for your assertion about "hosting these images
without the subject's permission".

Thanks,

Sam
