BLP deletion standards (as of May 2008) edit

AFD based deletion

When closing an AfD about living persons whose notability is ambiguous, the closing administrator should take into account whether the subject of the article being deleted has asked that it be deleted. The degree of weight given to such a request is left to their discretion.

Removed here on 7 May 2008 by Kotniski, referencing the talk page, but I can't find any discussion of it in Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons/Archive 19.

Deletion policy (as of March 2012) edit

Discussions concerning biographical articles of relatively unknown, non-public figures, where the subject has requested deletion and there is no rough consensus may be closed as delete. Poorly sourced biographical articles of unknown, non-public figures, where the discussions have no editor opposing the deletion, may be deleted after discussions have been completed.
