Keep This bath seems not to be a private place, people are not in detail and not in delicate situation, the photo depicts good a charecter of this bathplace and winter bathing. --ŠJů (talk) 00:01, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
- While I can understand the concern regarding identifiable people in this image, I decided to post it after determining (in my opinion) that the few individual faces that were visible were both far enough back and not the main focus of the picture. It could be further argued that a outdoor, mixed-bathing, hot spring bath in Japan isn't a place where most people would expect privacy. The purpose of such a location is to take a bath in the nude surrounded by complete strangers.
That said, I certainly don't wish to offend, and will happily comply with both the rules of Wikimedia Commons and the decision of its members on the issue of this file. I can, if needed resubmit the image with faces blurred out. Markmark28 (talk) 00:15, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Delete The public bath is a private space. People staying there are not things supposed to be photographed. I think it reasonable to deleted once. Then, I hope to submit the image with faces blurred out.--Soica2001 (talk) 14:47, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Comment While I don't completely agree with the idea of outdoor onsen being private, (there are onsen magazines abound in Japan with pictures published of patrons photographed from a distance enjoying a bath; myself included) I am willing to have this file deleted. I'm also happy to provide an alternate photo where the faces have been blurred out. The picture in question, whether edited or not I believe is an important one, as most onsen pictures only show the facilities, and not how they are enjoyed by individuals. Please find the edited photo here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tsurunoyu_onsen_rotenburo2.JPG
I will make the appropriate switch of photos on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsen page. Markmark28 (talk) 12:13, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Kept. - no need to blur out faces in this case - Jcb (talk) 15:22, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
