I’m the living person and this page concerns me. I would like it immediately deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editoratwiki2024! (talk • contribs) 10:39, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I think her book Palestinians in Syria: Nakba Memories of Shattered Communities may be notable, at least, but we should take seriously the WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. Is it possible that we can get the authenticity of this request verified through a contact by the subject to WP:VRT? —David Eppstein (talk) 06:30, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

David Eppstein, the subject has confirmed her wish for the article to be removed - ticket:2023112010001067. Cabayi (talk) 07:36, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Delete. I think this case is borderline-enough that we can respect the subject's wishes. We don't need to speculate about reasons; that is not necessary for this sort of request. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:38, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with recommendation to use the book-related material in an article on the book. There doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to disregard WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE here, whether in terms of notability or sourcing. But the book is unquestionably notable and has enough reviews to support a reasonably substantive article. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 09:28, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Deleteper subject's verified request; in future redirect it to the article on the book, when written, per the above post. PamD 15:11, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
redirect to an article about the book Palestinians in Syria: Nakba Memories of Shattered Communities which has multiple reviews and won an award (three reviews in JSTOR) and therefore passes WP:NBOOK. --hroest 15:58, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote almost all of this article. Personally, I do not believe that Dr. Al-Hardan, in the middle of the night, created a Wikipedia user account with the name "Editoratwiki2024!" (what?) and started edit warring on her Wikipedia biography. Not sure how well VRT verifies these requests but I'm not buying it.

Insofar as WP:N is concerned, I agree with the other editors above that it's the book that's notable more-so than its author. Redirect/rename/rescope to the book article, if someone wants to write it (not me). Levivich (talk) 19:55, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (or redirect). I find BLPREQUESTDELETE cases to be minefields, although Cabayi's information is more credible than what we usually get. However, this is an unambiguous fail of WP:PROF (too early in career), so I would easily say delete if it had been nominated on that basis. (Not sure if it's a fail of WP:AUTHOR, but redirecting is an easy solution to that.) --Tryptofish (talk) 20:00, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirecting is only an easy solution if there's a target to which to redirect: at present the book redirects to the author. PamD 21:23, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing that out. Let's take "easy" to ±mean "takes care of the problem" in this case. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:30, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this article, create one for Palestinians in Syria: Nakba Memories of Shattered Communities using the book reviews already found, and redirect the author's name to there. XOR'easter (talk) 22:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
