- Delete. As per the comment above, seems like an unrequested vanity page. —Mar·ka·ci 22:41, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
- Please stop calling it "vanity". Perhaps you do not understand the project, but your willingness to jump to conclusions is not helpful.
As I stated, I never asked for it to be put up in the first place and would not have written it, but the project is not about me. I feel sorry that the entry was written when it project was too new.
But it is not "vanity".
--jenlight 22:46, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)- A vanity page does not necessarily have to be written by its subject. However, I'd go for non-notable. People don't have an automatic right to have themselves deleted from the encyclopaedia, of course, any more than they have the right to have themselves included. But in this case my vote aligns with the subject's wishes, even if they are for different reasons. Since Jenlight already has this on xyr user page, a straight Delete rather than Userfy.

- Could this be deleted as soon as possible? It uses my name and I am getting harrassed about it. --jenlight 22:44, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC) (moved from talk page Uncle G 21:32, 2005 Feb 4 (UTC))
- Deletions proceed as per deletion policy. There is a required lag time, for good reason. If there had been a reason, such as copyright violation or libel, to speed up the deletion, it would be happening much more quickly. But then in such cases it wouldn't be going through the VFD process in the first place. There are other processes for those cases. There is no copyright violation or libel here. If people are hassling you about the page, tell them to read this VFD discussion, as the notice on the top of the page suggests. And to expand upon Markaci's point in the edit summary: You don't get the final say in encyclopaedia articles about you, any more than anyone else gets final say in encyclopaedia articles about them.
