I don’t handle deletion requests anymore. (1) I do listen to our admins who deal with them. A couple of issues have come up. People have been contacting Fan History with misinformation regarding deletion requests. (2) So this post is designed to clear that up.
Fan History won’t honor deletion requests posted!
This is false. Fan History DOES honor deletion requests… so long as they are properly submitted. If you don’t follow this procedure, then the article won’t be deleted. This happens more regularly than people might think because people will just send an e-mail to delete@fanhistory.com . They don’t post an ADR and don’t answer e-mails we send them following up with their request. If they don’t follow the procedure, the article won’t be deleted. (3) This is pretty much how it is on most of the Internet: To get what you want, you need to follow the rules. If you don’t follow them, then you don’t get what you want.
