I've been going through my iPhoto library trying to tag all the faces, which can be a time consuming task when you have a large library. But I found one small shortcut to help get rid of faces that keep popping up for people you don't know.

When browsing a specific person in Faces, at the bottom of the window it makes suggestions of other faces that may be the same person. After clicking the Confirm Name button, you can confirm (click or drag-select), deny (Option-click or Option-drag-select), or name (Control-click to see the pop-up menu) the face, you can also remove it.

Instead of clicking Confirm Name, select the image thumbnail with the unwanted face, press the Space Bar to view the full image, and then click the Name button that appears in the button bar at the bottom. You can then remove the unwanted face, and when you click Done, you'll be taken back to the Faces view.
