> [...] Must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. [...]
> File in use in another Wikimedia project [...] [OR]
> File in use on Commons only: An otherwise non-educational file does not
acquire educational purpose solely because it is in use on a gallery page
or in a category on Commons, nor solely because it is in use on a user page
(the "User:" namespace), but by custom the uploading of small numbers of
images (e.g. of yourself) for use on a personal Commons user page is
allowed. Files relating to projects or events of the Wikimedia community,
such as user meetings, are also allowed.
> [...] For example, the fact that an unused blurred photograph could
theoretically be used to illustrate an article on "Common mistakes in
photography" does not mean that we should keep all blurred photographs. The
fact that an unused snapshot of your friend could theoretically be used to
illustrate an article on "Photographic portraiture" does not mean that we
should keep all photographs of unknown people. The fact that an unused
pornographic image could theoretically be used to illustrate an article on
pornography does not mean that we should keep low quality pornographic
images (see also Censorship).
> [...] Examples of files that are not realistically useful for an
educational purpose:
> Private image collections, e.g. private party photos, photos of yourself
and your friends, your collection of holiday snaps and so on. There are
plenty of other projects on the Internet you can use for such a purpose,
such as Flickr. Such private image collections do not become educational
even if displayed as a gallery on a user page on Commons or elsewhere.

Some other technology (like IPFS) may also be sufficient for such party
photos and the mentioned Flickr also has a creative commons & public domain
sharing option that allows reuse for stock footage.

Also about uploading your party pictures as a child: you may not have
received the informed consent of all models portrayed on the picture (i.e.,
your family and other customers) that you have uploaded. For example in
many countries, you must sign individual waivers if you want to publish the
photographs that include identifiable humans. This is especially true with
Commons, because the purpose of uploading is to contribute the content in a
manner which allows other contributors to edit, remix and reuse your
photographs in ways that you or your models did not anticipate.
