An editor claiming to be the subject of this article posted the following in a PROD template: "Hello, my name is Adam Welsh. I am the author and person described in this Wikipedia page. I would like this page to be deleted from wikipedia as I need this information to not appear in Google searches for professional reasons. As I am the author and the person the page describes, I see this is as my right and would appreciate your support on this issue. Many thanks." Unfortunately, it is not the subject's right to have the article deleted outright, nor is there a valid deletion rationale in that request.

However, on review, I don't know that the subject actually meets our criteria for inclusion. None of the sources seem to directly discuss this individual. They were in some productions that received awards, or were nominated, but they themselves aren't mentioned (even in passing) in the source discussing the nomination. I'm not able to find anything that shows the subject to be notable. On that basis, I'm nominating the article for deletion. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 18:31, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Why cannot the subject of an article request to have an article about him/her deleted?Vorbee (talk) 10:04, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * They can absolutely make that request. But that request alone isn't a valid reason to delete an article that otherwise meets our requirements. It usually is enough to get an admin to take a second look, however, which is what I did when this popped at WP:BADAFD. That said, if an article is borderline to begin with, a polite (verified!) request from the subject could tip the result over to delete. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:50, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
