 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I am the artist Ranti Bam. I did not create this page! There are a bits of false information on the page. For my personal mental and physical well being I would like this page deleted Rantihut (talk) 13:10, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: Seems to be notable, was featured in the Biennial here, with coverage and .  Oaktree b (talk) 14:59, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Is also in the collections of two museums. Not sure why the artist wouldn't want to be featured here, nothing is incorrect from what I can read. Oaktree b (talk) 15:00, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: Every sentence seems to have a source cited. If there are any "bits of false information" in the article, that seems like a topic for discussion, with specifics, on the article's talk page. Elspea756 (talk) 15:03, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. This is not the subject's first request; see . That request was made by one of two related IPs on the same Ivorian mobile network (199.168.73.172 and 196.47.133.24). These IPs made repeated attempts to remove or change material. This triggered multiple warnings for vandalism. I can see why this person is very frustrated.

 * Comment. While we should honor the request if legit, I am somewhat skeptical of a request like this: There's a chance this is not the subject, and in fact could be someone attempting to scam the subject by getting the article deleted and offering to re-create it for money. I've seen some good analyses of these from Beccaynr, if they choose to here. &mdash;siro&chi;o 00:09, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I’ve now seen 3 AfDs with these requests just in the last week. There’s always a lingering question as to whether the request is coming from the real subject of the article. Perhaps we need a policy or guideline amendment requiring people making these requests go through some sort of verification process using the Volunteer Response Team to ensure we’re getting legitimate requests.

 * Comment I agree the article should be deleted if the actual subject is requesting deletion. However, I had not thought about the possibility that this is not coming from the real subject of the article. I await further comments and guidance. The artist certainly passes notability. Looks like they have an Insta account. The website appears to be in development or abandoned. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:20, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I added a welcome message and information on how to request edits on their user page. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:30, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep regardless of subject's wishes. On borderline cases, sure we should delete per WP:BLPREQUEST, however, this person is clearly notable. -- Mike 🗩 20:25, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - No response on requestor's user talk page or on the article's talk page. It doesn't seem like a credible request for deletion from the subject of the article. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:41, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
