I don't see why we should respect the wishes of people who are no longer participants in Wikipedia, especially if the wishes regard deletion. --The Cunctator

Why do you keep putting Aristotle back on the drop-outs page? He's taken great pains to remove himself from Wikipedia. I'm not going to get into an edit war over it, but its pretty obvious that he doesn't want to be there. STG

I look at it like this: if the page was "Politicians who have criminal records" and some politician didn't want to be on the list, I wouldn't honor that wish. In short, this is information which belongs to society, not to the individual. That's pretty righteous, I know, but this is crucial knowledge if Wikipedia is to have any means of self-criticism. --The Cunctator
