Hi! Sorry, I can't understand how resolution about BLP may be applied to media files. How much files will remain in Commons, if only media about notable persons or works of notable persons will be included?
Media in question is about ethnic conflict (definitely notable itself), so I don't think that BPL applies there. Eugene.
