Policy --- You may request removal of a page revision for these reasons:

  1. Removal of nonpublic personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, workplaces or identities of pseudonymous or anonymous individuals who have not made their identity public.
  2. Removal of potentially libellous information when the subject has specifically asked for the information to be expunged from the history, the case is clear, and there is no editorial reason to keep the revision.

Additionally, there are other cases where the Wikimedia Foundation may request removal of revisions.

If none of the above conditions have been satisfied, please be aware that the revision will not be hidden from admin-view, though it may be deleted by any admin.
