The result was Delete per consensus. I'm not convinced that we should delete anything only because a LP says "please delete me", but this particular subject, even without the purported statement (that as far as I can tell is not verified, only assumed to be true), has borderline notability at best. Consensus here says delete with valid arguments above and beyond "I want my page gone", so delete it is. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 22:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is Richard Stern, the subject of the article. I am requesting that the article be taken down for two reasons:
1. I am trying very hard to reduce my internet presence because I have career aspirations that would be impossible to meet with prospective employers referencing my wikipedia page; it has become a major hindrance to my personal and professional life and as such it is in my best interest to have it removed.
2. I am not a notable person. If I had any semblance of notability when the page was created, which was nowhere near universally agreed upon, it is long past. Further, the major basis for my article's creation - my youtube page at youtube.com/rickyste - has been removed. The article should be removed because in all honesty, no one cares about me, nor should they; I think you will find no one rushes here trying to save the page on its merits.
I plead with you to respect my wishes and conform to Wikipedia's own standards for article inclusion. Thank you. 64.245.33.164 (talk) 17:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
