''This article Peter Diamond (illustrator) is self-promotional. I can vouch for this because I made the page some years ago, about my own illustration work, in a very misguided attempt to improve my presence on the web. My thinking at the time was that if it were inappropriate for Wikipedia it would be removed, and if it isn't removed then maybe it belongs. This was of course a sorry misunderstanding of, and disrespect to, Wikipedia.

As much as the tone is fairly neutral and the references included originally are legitimate ones, making it perhaps pass Notability muster on a strictly technical basis, I feel that the fact that this article would not have been created had I not done so myself makes it unworthy of Wikipedia. I use Wikipedia in my work nearly every day, and find it invaluable. Frankly, it turns my stomach that I contributed this piece of it and so this is my contrite request that it be considered for deletion. I hope I'm going about this the right way, if not please advise. Pete Diamond (talk) 07:24, 15 August 2017 (UTC)''

 * Speedy delete, per G7. Elliot321 (talk) 16:16, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The claim that the article is an autobiography is credible, no other other editors have significant contributed to the content and no reasonable arguments in favour of keeping the article have been brought forward. While strictly speaking ought to make the request for deletion per WP:G7, I think we can do the subject the courtesy of fulfilling his request. Mduvekot (talk) 13:48, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as the author/subject has requested and is the main editor of the article Atlantic306 (talk) 15:45, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
