The result was Speedy keep. There is a consensus that the subject is notable enough and deletion should only happen per WP:BIODEL which doesn't seem to apply here. Speedy close because we have the snowball clause. (non-admin closure) ─ The Aafī ^{^(talk)} 17:49, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to fix a malformed nomination. The nominator is Marc-andres1 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), who may be the same person as the subject of this article, Marc Andreessen. The nominator's reason is: "The individual talked about in this page no longer desires his information to be displayed on wikipedia". I think that notability is clear and the article should be kept.

Obvious keep Can't be sure the account is the actual subject, and there's no way this BLP of one of the World Wide Web's 'founders' is getting removed. Nate • (chatter) 20:40, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Even if it is the actual subject who wants the article taken down, they are very far from being marginally notable. If there are specific aspects of the article they are unhappy with, the article talkpage is the appropriate venue. Edwardx (talk) 20:46, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - not a marginal case, passes WP:BASIC by a long, long way Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 15:55, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Many references in reliable sources, notability very clear. Tacyarg (talk) 16:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep obviously. Subject is notable. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:09, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Deletion of BLP policy should apply here. Policy is clear around "relatively unknown, non-public figures". Marc is not that. However, if there is data Marc wants fixed on his BLP, we should help him fix it. BLP policy is also clear on that. Walrusmcd (talk) 00:53, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
