In Adam Palmer we have this situation: the BLP was created two years ago by, presumably the subject. A new user, now turns up and  with the edit summary "Unnecessary Bio, deleted entry". tagged the article with G7, but then reverted himself as the blanking editor is not identical to the creating editor. Adamppalmer has blanked again with the edit summary "This is my own bio. I dont think this contributes to Wikipedia and better to remove it. I am not famous or noteworthy. I have tried to delete the page." What's sensible to do here? I brought this question up at the help desk, but it got only one response. Should we believe that Adamppalmer is the subject and the article creator and speedy delete it under G7? Or treat it as a WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE? I am open for both possibilities, but I fail to find info on how to handle such a case. -- Sam Sing! 13:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * provisional delete there is nothing in the article that indicates WP:GNG is met. an initial search finds that he is quoted as a talking head quite frequently, but I did not find substantive coverage about him, but i am willing to acknowledge that deeper digging may uncover such. ping me if such is provided and i do not respond.--  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:18, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete unless better evidence of notability is found. References are all press releases, some are no longer available, and the first (which is available) does not mention the subject. Maproom (talk) 14:17, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment. I posted this on the Help Desk page (where this was first discussed), copying here just as an FYI: I did indeed reach Mr. Palmer on LinkedIn and exchanged correspondance. He is the owner of both accounts mentioned above. I suggested to him that he let the Articles for Deletion process run its course. —  Noah  16:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Second thought: I just read WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE... would it be useful for Mr. Palmer to establish the authenticity of his account(s) so he could formally add his request for deletion? —  Noah  16:10, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * There are some editors who, in cases of marginal notability, take the desire of the subject to not be the topic of a Wikipedia article into account and !vote delete based upon the request. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  04:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
