A user, User:Daneady, who appears to be the subject, has requested deletion of the page in an edit summary. As stated at WP:BLP: "If a dispute centers around a page's inclusion (e.g., because of questionable notability or where the subject has requested deletion), this is addressed via deletion discussions rather than by summary deletion." If needed, the Subjects Contact Us form could probably be requested of the user to verify his identity. The content was replaced and the user provided a link to IMDb, which isn't considered a reliable source.

Also, the article to begin with was not very well sourced; it did not use any inline citations, and all of its references were either inaccessible or of questionable reliability. See the page history for these links. This in itself is in violation of WP:BLP. After a Google search, I could not find any reliable sources about the subject.

  • Delete - seems like a fairly straightforward case even without the subject's request, which only adds extra weight. Frickeg (talk) 01:23, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, a few parts in various short films, a stint as a writer in a large newpaper but no coverage about him. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:09, 18 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]
