Your wish to delete your Wikipedia biography

Hello Rey Chow. I am a Teahouse host and noticed your question on the talk page there. WP:THQ is the actual page for questions, but I will give you my personal opinion as an experienced editor. We have a well-established notability guideline for academics. Item #5 on that list says that professors who hold named chairs at major universities are considered notable. Certainly Duke is a major university. This is a free encyclopedia with over 4.5 million articles. Ideally, as the project grows, we will have biographies of every such professor in the world. The current article about you seems to be well-researched and well-referenced. You concede that it the article is not inaccurate nor controversial.

This is an encyclopedia, not a social networking site like LinkedIn. The subjects of our biographies do not control those articles, although we respond promptly to deletion requests in cases where the person is not notable, or the content is slanderous. I respect your desire for privacy and we would remove your home address or phone number if someone tried to add them. But your splendid academic accomplishments lead me to conclude that we should have an article about you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:55, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
