Blanking of "private" information after attempt to prevent promotional COI editing

edit

@Yvonne Lyon: Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your attempt to improve the article, but something has completely gone wrong here. Could we at least get an explanation for the deletions? Why is this information, sourced by multiple independent websites, "private"? And if it is: Why don't you reach out to the sources, solving the root of the problem, instead of trying to hide secondary references to it? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:25, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Please Take this page down

edit

I would like this page taken down. I do not wish all of this information to be on a Wikipedia page Yvonne Lyon (talk) 22:27, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Yvonne Lyon: For this kind of strong, legal-like request, please have a look here: Wikipedia:Contact_us_-_Subjects -- Please note, however, that article subjects do not own the articles about them. Reliably sourced, correct information about a relevant person will likely not been taken down. Wikipedia is not censored. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:32, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Very true. In addition, due to a rather silly policy on usernames (in this editor's opinion), it's possible your account may blocked for some time until the Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team can sort things out, such as validating your identity (with accompanying proof, of course). You would be blocked because, well, we wish to impede, or, indeed, proscribe others from impersonating you. (Yes, it's a foolish policy.) You may further wish to peruse the policies under WP:REALNAME, read through Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help, and follow the link my friend ~ ToBeFree posted. — Javert2113 (talk) 22:44, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion

edit

This page should not be speedily deleted because... the requester offers an unlisted reason, insofar as speedy deletion is concerned, per the criteria established in WP:CSD; likewise, there are other methods whereby a courtesy-blanking can be allowed, and would be granted, methods which the requester has not undertaken, so far as this editor knows. Nor have attempts to communicate with the individual been fruitful, regarding an amiable compromise between full-on deletion and the retaining of all the material formerly written. In addition, warnings regarding WP:COISELF and other conflict of interest material seem to have been entirely ignored. In short, if the subject has an issue with something that's written, regardless of section or material, I, and I'm sure my fellow editors, too, would gladly discuss it, and be more than happy to come to some ideal agreement; but without knowing exactly what is at issue, the stability of the page itself must therefore become the issue at hand, and this editor cannot, in good conscience, allow this speedy deletion to go uncontested. --— Javert2113 (talk) 23:12, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
