 * Re privacy and courtesy deletions on Commons: we have a long history of deleting such images where they aren't widely used or alternatives of similar or better quality and educational value are available. We also have a long history of not deleting images just because the subject doesn't like it (e.g., when we have only one photo of a celebrity, and they're not offering any better ones). These really have to be treated on a case-by-case basis. It's worth emphasizing here that the linked deletion discussion is very far from the first discussion on this topic.
