I am Joseph Crespino, the subject of this page. I'm not sure how this page was created, or who created it. It includes personal information about me -- such as who my father is, where I went to high school, what job I did after college -- that is not sourced, and is otherwise not available on the web. I am an academic and not a particularly notable person. I would prefer that the page be deleted. Thank you. Huckleberry30030 (talk) 22:37, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Huckleberry30030 Articles are typically written without the involvement of, or even knowledge of, the subject. You could start a deletion discussion and argue that you do not meet the definition of either a notable author or a notable person, but that would be difficult since one of your works won a notable award, and you hold an academic chair, both things listed in the criteria. There seems to be an article about your father, as he played in the NFL, which is why he is mentioned here. What other information is it that you say isn't found on the web(or in any reliable source, including offline). 331dot (talk) 09:42, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
