The article subject has requested the page be deleted - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Corinna_L%C3%B6ckenhoff

Policy on deletion requests from subjects is at WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE: "Discussions concerning biographical articles of relatively unknown, non-public figures, where the subject has requested deletion and there is no rough consensus, may be closed as delete."

The subject arguably notes that she is not notable in Wikipedia terms. I will AGF and support her view in this with this AfD. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:48, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. Tagishsimon (talk) 03:48, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

The subject is notable per WP:Academics #3. The subject can say whatever. If this article will be deleted, I will assume that you are no longer a Wikipedian and will recreate it per above guideline. ;)--Biografer (talk) 03:56, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Yeah. Cheers for the passive aggressive abuse, Biografer, but please, really, don't be an idiot. If the article is deleted as a result of this deletion discussion, you will not recreate it because those are the rules. Nor do you get to decide who is and who is not a wikipedian.

So let's look at WP:Academics # 3: "The person has been an elected member of a highly selective..." blah blah blah. Did you stop to look at the criteria for fellowships of the Gerontological Society of America? Probably not. Here it is: https://www.geron.org/images/gsa/Fellows/2020_Code_of_Procedures_and_Requirements_for_Fellow_Status.pdf

By my reading, it does not appear "highly selective". There are criteria, but those criteria fail to meet what I take to be "highly". YMMV. --Tagishsimon (talk) 04:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Delete mid-career scientist (currently an associate professor). Only aspect of WP:PROF that might be met is #3, "an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society"; but fellowship in the Gerontological Society of America is much less selective than the examples given in the WP:PROF #3 critera. Deletion nomination resulted from my post at WIR, and I gotta say it's really shitty that Wikipedia is making somebody navigate through the bureaucracy of blocks and edit requests to deal with their own biography.

• Delete. Relatively unknown and non-public figure, any keep argument would rely on a particularly broad interpretation of WP:ACADEMICS, and a subject who wishes for it to be deleted due to ongoing BLP issues. Not only should the article be deleted, but Biografer should be warned/sanctioned for the above threat to ignore the AfD and recreate it regardless of the outcome and Spintendo talked to about his pointlessly obstinate response to the subject asking for inaccurate details in her biography to be corrected.

• The current AfD is focused on deletion of a subject because of the subjects' personal COI with it. I will be happy to address the inaccuracies, but deleting it because the subject wants it is a no-no. We have many stubs on Fellows of IEEE, but we don't go and delete them, we expand on them!--Biografer (talk) 04:17, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

The current AfD is predicted on the non-notability - in Wikipedia terms - of the subject. Your #3 has been blown out of the water. You got anything more? --Tagishsimon (talk) 04:21, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

@Tagishsimon: The subject meets WP:GNG, so its far from non-notable.--Biografer (talk) 04:25, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
