A person claiming to be the page's subject has requested deletion, citing safety concerns for her and her family (she's a trans rights activist). I think it's pretty reasonable – she's not non-notable, this wouldn't be my first choice for AfD normally, but she mostly appears in the news as an advocate, not as a person of interest herself. Most of the coverage comes from passing mentions in local news stories that are largely about trans rights or non-independent biographies from the ACLU and her own website. As is procedure for BLPREQUESTDELETE, leaving it up to the good folks at AfD :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 06:18, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Per WP: BLPREQUESTDELETE. If the page’s subject is concerned about her safety, I think it is only reasonable that we honour it. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 07:25, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• This is my own article, that I wrote and got into DYK, but I am willing to see it deleted if it has become a safety concern. Dominic·t 20:23, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I'm sorry that this happened to a good person. Unless the person is clearly a public figure, I'm an advocate of privacy. It's going to be a very long 3 years, 11 months, and 19 days of this nonsense that we will have to endure. Soft deletion is appropriate in such cases.
