When an author requests an article he/she wrote to be
deleted, we should delete it imediatelly. Especially
when nobody else has contributed into the article.
The possibility of a fake request exists. This is a
serious consideration.

Jimbo forwarded to Wikien-l what looks like an

man who has been, from

I'm not sure what we should do. If I still had ssh
software on my PC, I
would probably delete the pages from the database
(just to be safe).
On the other hand, it might be a good idea to back
them up them
somewhere, accessible only to the head developer, in
case the notice is
either (a) faked; or (b) not something we have to
comply with, even if
it's real.
Cautiously,
