Talk:David A. Bray

Though a redirect, this article must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. This applies to Talk pages too.

Question
Question for Northernva, did you as the article's subject really ask for the previous article to be deleted, and if so why? It seemed fairly positive and you seem to meet notability? WatchDogUS (talk) 00:02, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi WatchDogUS, I requested a delete and redirect or delete and start anew as the previous article seemed to go into details about some non-notable information unrelated to my role even that with edits they would still be in the history. Apparently the details were posted by an editor under multiple aliases and included personal family details. Since I am not a political appointee and not a politician (I am a non-partisan senior executive) this seemed to encroach potentially into our privacy. With this concern I indicated I would be okay with either TNT Delete and redirect OR Delete and start a stub anew with new editors deferring to others with Wikipedia. A delete was done and after that a redirect. Thank you. Northernva (talk) 00:42, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * That's correct, the article subject requested the article deletion. The editor's identity was confirmed by email and WP:ORTS ticket. Since the subject is close to the threshold for notability, it was deleted as a courtesy. See Articles for deletion/David A. Bray. John Nagle (talk) 06:06, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay and that’s helpful context on this redirect to know that the subject, being a public official, wasn’t against an article specifically in the request, and that the AfD outcome was a delete out of a courtesy given the circumstances and closeness to the threshold with the possibility of a redirect or new article. Usually a lack of consensus is keep, I wanted to assume good faith involving a biographies of living persons and appreciate the context. WatchDogUS (talk) 02:03, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
