This deletion discussion is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive. You can read the deletion policy or ask a question at the Village pump. If the circumstances surrounding this file have changed in a notable manner, you may re-nominate this file or ask for it to be undeleted.

It is an old picture of me and I never wanted it published. It is also a matter of safety due to reasons that I am not going to disclose. Please delete it.

 Keep I do not think that this image violates anybody privacy as the person is not identifiable. His name has beed removed from image description and image metadata. Ankry (talk) 13:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep We don't even know if the IP above is the person depicted. Any such request should be done via COM:VRT anyway, to verify the identity. Yann (talk) 13:53, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep The request should be made through VRT but if personal data has been deleted at a request of an anonymous user, it should be undeleted unless a VRT is filed, because we don't know if it has been requested for privacy of the person depicted, of it has been requested in bad faith to try to deprive the depicted person of the credit due for having been in the military defending his country.--Pere prlpz (talk) 22:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep: This is a US government image, properly released into the public domain as US government work and no matter what we do here it will stay, with the person's name exposed on the US military websites, even if we change it here though I did not find this one. :Usually the images are still found on US military's websites, so our deletion is irrelevant. Removing it here really makes no difference in identifying the person and I have yet to see the US military actually remove any image we are asked to delete. I doubt they will remove such images from their websites now or in the future though older images, like this one, may be harder to track down. A VRT ticket has been filed and the identifying name has already been removed from both the description and the metadata so there is no reason to delete. Also see these deletion nominations, all of which were kept and some renamed:
