Q: Faces - People I don't Know What to Do

Running along the lines of my OCD'edness.  What can I do with the literally thousands of faces that are background people.  Is there a way to ignore these faces en mass?  It annoys me when I tag faces that I have a list of Suggested Faces who are simple random people in the background of my shoots. Should I tag them as Man/Woman so I can filter out people who I don't want to be able to be searchable? Or better yet is there a way to just tell Photos to ignore them.

    I'll re-file my bug report as well. Mac OS X 10.12 and iOS 10? Hope springs eternal...

    I have just discovered a new idea by accident that seems to be working great. I stumbled across your query as it was similar to mine. I get annoyed too about the people in the backgrounds but mostly it's the non-faces that keep being suggested.

    what I did was create a 'person' called NOT A FACE. And saved all strangers AND non faces to this.

    then I click open this folder. It's generally full of people's ears, furniture etc that appears to have two eyes , nose and mouth. (I must just say I am intrigued by  the phenomenon of paraeidolia anyway, so these little thumbnails often make me smile!)

    anyway, if you click on one of the images hold control + left click (Mac) the option comes up THIS IS NOT A FACE

    this tells photos that an ear isn't a person ... Hopefully. I haven't had many repeats of ears after doing this.

    DOnt nt know if this is useful at all but thought I'd share
