> Every day, Wikipedia biographies of living people are flagged for deletion because the subjects are not “notable” enough. How do these poor souls take the news?

How entitled must one be to assume they are owed a page in Wikipedia?

FIFA Peace Prize level of entitled at least, it seems

I don't think it has to be entitlement. It could be a sign that you were "up and coming" and now you're not. I can see how that'd still sting a bit even to have external validation of your own anxieties.

"up and coming" does not exist. you either meet the wikipedia notability criteria or you do not.

I'm not sure it's coming from entitlement. It's like your highschool having a wall of notable graduates, and having your likeness taken down while you are still alive. It's a negative insulting signal

So, basically inconsequential stuff only the juvenile should worry about? Agreed.
