Welcome to the ISFDB project! Re: your submission which aims to remove the place and date of birth (as well as links to Wikipedia and SFE) from Karin Lowachee's author record, I believe there are two separate issues here.

ISFDB:Policy#Data_Deletion_Policy says:

If a living author (or their authorized representative) requests that the ISFDB remove the author's detailed biographical information, the ISFDB will comply after confirming the requester's identity. The ISFDB will remove as much biographical data as needed in order to accommodate legitimate privacy concerns while preserving, to the extent possible, the work of the editors who have compiled the data. A note will be added to the author's record explaining what type of information has been removed and why.

Once we confirm that the request comes from the author, we will remove the date and place of birth from the record. In order to do that, please send an email to ahasuerus@email.com. The sending e-mail address will need to be either from "karinlowachee.com" or listed on the Web site, e.g. "tamara@defliterary.com".

Please note that this policy does not cover removing links to third party Web sites. Help:Screen:AuthorData lists the types of Web pages that we link to:

  • Web Page - Enter the URL of a Web page about this author.
  • Eligible pages include:
    • Author- and fan-run sites
    • Biographic and bibliographic pages from online encyclopedias like The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Wikipedia
    • Author-specific pages provided by publishers
    • Author-specific pages at social bibliography sites like Librarything and Goodreads
    • [more examples snipped]

A quick update: it's been two weeks and I haven't received any email messages re: this topic. Please post here if you have sent an email and it got eaten by a spam filter. Thanks. Ahasuerus (talk) 20:44, 19 September 2023 (EDT)
It's been 50 days since the original submission. I am going to reject it and link the submission to this discussion. If you would like to revisit the issue, please send me an email from one of the email addresses mentioned above. Thanks. Ahasuerus (talk) 16:00, 25 October 2023 (EDT)
