Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from David Hollenbach, S.J.. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 03:44, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

After taking a second look at the article, I agreed with the deletion and have removed the text again. Please note that it's bad practice to remove large chunks of text without explanation. At the least, you should use an edit summary to explain the removal. If it's a complicated situation, you probably want to explain your reasoning at the article's talk page. —C.Fred (talk) 03:48, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I had my students create a user page for M. Shawn Copeland. The page originally needed some revisions when they first created it. It had some grammatical and factual errors. I deleted those errors and as the page stands now, it is a simple summary of her CV. She, however, has seen the page and wants it removed. Is it possible to have the page deleted if my students who created the page request it, even though I have edited it and the page does not, as far as I can see, violate Wikipedia's standards for biographies of living persons?Bethanykieran (talk) 12:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If the author of the page blanks it, it then can be tagged with . The author is the main contributor, anything else in this case being tidy-up. It has to be blanked by the author, but anyone can then add the tag. Peridon (talk) 13:09, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * First, rather than just blanking the page, the original creator should add the db-author template to the top of the article.
 * Second, in this case, is the original editor. He/She will need to make the request for deletion. If you put a message on Talk:M. Shawn Copeland indicating that you agree with the request for deletion, then it should go through. Normally the request-by-author speedy deletion requires only a single editor to have worked on the page, but if all substantial contributors have requested deletion, then it meets the criteria. (IMO, Hairhorn and Bearcat's edits are minor formatting edits and not substantial contributions.) —C.Fred (talk) 15:28, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
