  •  Keep - Looks like a park to me. -mattbuck (Talk) 22:59, 25 January 2009 (UTC)reply

    Can you please explain how that is relevant here? Although the subject is identifiable, she is posing for the camera, so she clearly knows that a photograph is being taken of her. Furthermore, it seems to be in a public location such as a park.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 01:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)reply
  •  Delete A park doesn't mean public scene (like a concert, and even there you are not allowed to publish a photo were you picked out a single person). Nobody is allowed to publish a private photo of a person even she or he is posing for him wihthout his or her consent. So without release.. --Martina Nolte (talk) 00:04, 26 January 2009 (UTC)reply
    From the much-loved COM:PEOPLE: In the United States (where the Commons servers are located), assent is not as a rule required to photograph people in public places. Hence, unless there are specific local laws to the contrary, overriding legal concerns (e.g., defamation) or moral concerns (e.g., picture unfairly obtained), the Commons community does not normally require that an identifiable subject of a photograph taken in a public place has consented to the image being taken or uploaded. This is so whether the image is of a famous personality or of an unknown individual. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)reply
US laws don't rule the world. Or is that a proof how little human right count in that county? --Eva K. is evil 00:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)reply
I'm not saying they do. But are there specific local laws here whereby personal consent WOULD be required in a public place? It seems to me you just want to delete all klashorst images, and you are trying anything you can think of to justify it. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:58, 26 January 2009 (UTC)reply
 Comment Now getting personal and suspecting ad personam in lack of arguments? This photo and all others in this range have not been taken in the USA so that US-law is not applicable. Foundation-Servers standing there does only mean that lawsuit would be nessessary there, but again not that US-law aplies. I'm well aware that demanding releases like, indeed, is done here would cause additional work to the support team. But that should not be a reason for violating personality rights. --Martina Nolte (talk) 02:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)reply
I'm sorry if it seems I'm getting personal, but in the past few hours I've been accused of being a racist, sexist, and a party to the slave trade just because I voiced a differing opinion. It's rather got on my nerves. This photo was apparently taken in Holland, where EU law would apply. The woman is clearly not underage, so that's not an issue, and as far as I know EU law is common with US law on this matter, and so there are no specific local laws to be observed about photographing people in a public place. If there are any, I would ask that they be cited. If there are no such local laws, and I would assume there are not, then that is not a rationale for deletion, it's merely a smokescreen. -mattbuck (Talk) 03:00, 26 January 2009 (UTC)reply

Without explicit permission by the person shown, this image violates the "right on one’s own picture"" in the origin country’s law nl:Portretrecht (see also [1]) - and is therefore not according to COM:PEOPLE#Legal_issues. An OTRS ticket is needed or the image has to be deleted. The previous keep decision has missed this imperative aspect that does not allow any open space for decision. -- Martina Nolte (talk) 17:04, 1 February 2009 (UTC)reply


No OTRS ticket is needed as it is a public space, and as was said the person is clearly aware she is being photographed. Tagged with personality rights anyway, so there is no issue. Do NOT reopen DRs simply because you don't like the result.
