WP:BLP suggests that not only is this not the first case, but in fact "...when
the individual involved is not especially notable, such edits _usually are not
vandalism_ but rather an effort by the subject of the article to remove biased
or inaccurate material...." 

Even for non-BLP, instead of {{subst:test1}}, I often start with something like: 

== [[Name of article]] ==
