Admin Forum:Need advice on a deletion debate

I'm the admin for the Real Life Superheroes Wiki. The question I have is in regards to an anonymous request that I just received to delete a profile created on a Real Life Superhero named Tothian. Prior to this reaching out, I had 2 anonymous edits from different but similar IPs blanking the page out with no explanation as to why. Then it got blanked with the following text:
 * This is Tothian who keeps editing this and deleting this. I do not consent to me having a page on here. I do not wear a costume, as costumes are for trick or treaters and actors, not real life superheroes. To call it the c-word is stupid and offensive.
 * And stop putting what appears to be my "alter ego" Michael, on here. What the hell is wrong with you people. Fucking seriously.
 * Who ever is in charge of this page can email me at Tothian(at)msn(dot)com and we'll talk from there. I'm sick of deleting this page every time I see it.

Here's the Talk page for further info. After rolling back the changes, I tagged the page with the candidate for deletion tag but my issue is there aren't really a lot of regular editors to the wiki so there's no community to form a consensus on deletion so most of the policies that a larger wiki would have to handle cases like this are non-existent. Then, I had someone leave me a message on my wall requesting that I email this person. Here's the thread.

If I had a notability policy, I would say that this page would meet it due to the history the person has in the movement, even if it's been mostly controversial. If I look at it as a living person bio, it doesn't really match either because it's not a profile of a legal identity but an alias, albeit one that shares the likeness of a living person. The profile isn't really defamatory or libelous. I am loath to simply cave into what an anonymous user/user without any edit history requests or waiting period and at the same time, I don't really want to be dealing with someone who might start vandalizing the wiki out of spite since they've demonstrated that they're willing to stubbornly edit it their way without reaching out.

So what do fellow admin think I should do? Any different perspectives? Useful advice? --Kainee (talk) 06:47, November 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Several things to bear in mind:
 * Many people are not familiar with the ways wikis are managed - everyone knows anyone can edit, but the average person who's never spent significant time contributing to a wiki doesn't necessarily know that they shouldn't blank a page - assume good faith.
 * The "real life superhero" in question is both an anonymous entity, but at the same time, a regular person. Generally, when a regular person requests removal of information about them, Wikia grants it (although, this is a more abstract case).
 * You have no way of confirming that the email address given to you is actually held by the person in question. Assuming staff allow you to make the decision yourself, you should weigh the reasons given to you for removal of the page against what value the page could have to the world at large.
 * If the IP were to vandalize the wiki, blocking it and reverting all of its edits would fix the problem in a short time. Remember that no vandalism is permanent.
 * I would recommend contacting the person via the email given to you, no harm can come from that. Consider their position, and consider yours - you may be able to compromise by removing some information from the page, but ultimately leaving it up.
