New subject: complete deletion of Dr. Thomas Mensah's name from wikimedia

22 Mar 2015

I will like to ask your help in beginning proceedings to have the wiki
article of Dr. Thomas Mensah totally deleted from Wikipedia and done as
soon as possible.

This is because the page still comes up whenever you browse his name and it
has that copyright tag there but displays nothing whatsover of his
biography and achievements. Since Wikipedia is not displaying the bio of
his work and achievements then I will ask that it deletes the page
completely and his name off their servers as well because that tag
implicating copyright issues is in itself defamatory to his character as a
highly respected member of the global academic and scientific society.

If any one has an address to forward this request to then that will be
greatly appreciated, else I say we do what we can as soon as we possibly
can to see to the complete removal of Dr. Thomas Mensah from Wikipedia if
they do not want his article there, rather than keep his name there and
that of Rocky Dawuni under such defamatory circumstances.

I am open to whatever ideas anyone might have in seeing to the resolution
of the above because Wikipedia or some editors there said it was going to
take a week to resolve since the above page a were tagged for deletion on
March 6, 2015 and it's been almost half a month now and they have not been
completely removed: I speak as a concerned Ghanaian on this matter.

Thank you,
