Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Richard Abanes

I'm asking wiki editors to please allow this article about me to be deleted. I'm no longer a public figure: i.e., no longer writing books, speaking publicly, or doing any radio/TV interviews (and I haven't done so for several years). Moreover, I'm on a new career path that has nothing to do with this material about me as an author, which is incompatible with, and disruptive to, the current direction of my career. Consequently, I'd very much appreciate the article's deletion, especially since the primary source of this material was self-written biographical material that has not been public for years. My previous website, for instance, has been non-existent since 2009. I'm simply asking wiki editors to please respect my wishes. Thank you. Rabanes (talk) 17:16, 4 August 2013 (UTC) Richard Abanes


 * It is isnt for you or any individual to decide whether they are a public figure or not. I find your claim that this article could affect your career to be odd given there is nothing that portrays you in a negative light, always assuming you really are Richard Abanes in the first place (and not perhaps somebody with a grudge against him). Edit warring on the article isnt the way forward, though, this much I do know. Thanks, ♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 17:51, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
