Scholars who've asked for their biographies to be deleted, Catholics, Buddhists, feminists, Muslims ... Options

[HRIP7]

Another scholar asking for his biography to be deleted:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Art...n#Ian_Dowbiggin

As far as I can make out, the biography was turned into an attack piece by a now-blocked sock, Jabbsworth (T-C-L-K-R-D) . The BLP subject has been blocked too as a "sockpuppeteer" (by Catfish Jim and the soapdish (T-C-L-K-R-D) ), after having made a grand total of 7 edits with two non-overlapping accounts. A prime example of Wikipedia assuming good faith, eh?

Nothing against secularism, but if it stoops to smearing academics because they follow a religious faith ... Dowbiggin is a Catholic, but there may be a wider pattern here, crossing religious boundaries. For example, last month a Buddhist feminist scholar requested deletion of her biography:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Art...n/Rita_M._Gross

and there was Abbas, a Muslim, as well:

Let's collect these cases here.

I believe that every person who has bio on Wikipedia should have the right to have it deleted. If after he's offered to remove attacks from his bio, and promised attacks will never be added there again, he still wants it deleted, his request should be fulfilled. To do otherwise will be a bullying in my opinion.

Which one, George W. Bush or George H. W. Bush (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/confused.gif)
Yes. Everybody. If a person requested his/her biography to be deleted from wikipedia, this request should be granted.
