Talk:Eric C. Anderson

message: Just a quick note here that someone at Space Adventures reached out to me to help them add an image for Mr. Anderson, their CEO. So whereas I do have a close connection with the subject, I am not the editor from 2006 whose editing resulted in the page's warning tag. I'm not sure that tag really serves much purpose at this point, but if I get a chance to work on this page further, it's one thing I'll see about fixing.

thread_title:  Anderson photo 

message: In October, working on behalf of one of Mr. Anderson's companies, I proposed a new draft of this article, which was moved into place by another editor following feedback and edits (see above). Very recently, I have been re-contacted by the company to see about the possibility of removing a specific clause from the Personal life section. 
Specifically, they would like to remove the clause stating that Mr. Anderson's wife is "a former concert pianist born in Russia". Their reasoning, quoted verbatim: "She says that the information is dated and does not wish to share personal items on Wikipedia." It is fair to note that the information is presumably accurate, as it came from a USA Today profile. 
However, I wonder if editors here may feel that it's a reasonable request: she is not herself a public figure, and plays a very small role in this article. I know there is precedent for removing Wikipedia articles about even arguably notable figures who did not want articles about them (cf. Seth Finkelstein and Daniel Brandt) so I wonder that applies. I don't believe Mrs. Anderson wants to disappear entirely, just that she would prefer not to be characterized by old information. Thoughts? WWB Too (Talk · COI) 15:56, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: To me, this is a reasonable request that we should honor. If the request were about Eric Anderson itself, I would oppose removal, because his past occupations are an important part of his encyclopedic story. We don't have a policy on this explicitly, but take a look at WP:BLPNAME; this section of WP:BLP explicitly suggests the removal of the names of family members who are otherwise "low-profile people". If we would be willing to remove a name, then I don't see why we wouldn't remove an occupation as well. Since this request comes directly from the person herself (I trust), and I don't see "a significant loss of context" (the standard that must be met to include a name or other similar info), I'll go ahead and remove it.
