Existence ≠ Notability := Bad editing experience.

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:May 2011 Update

Like every other "should" on Wiki, this is a guideline, and not a rule. If the article requires it, then edit. On the article about me, for example, I've added cites for claims about me, deleted other uncited claims I consider wrong, added EL's for myself, and even rewritten text where it was unclear. In the spirit of the guideline, I have NOT done other things, such as writing uncited info about myself -- I haven't even added my birth date. 99.245.33.52 18:23, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Even if you are yourself, thus in a position to know yourself better than third parties, your judgment is no substitute for reliable sources, especially if they show criticism of your person. But, according to BLP guidelines, you are free to remove criticism which is not based upon reliable sources (this is even encouraged). E.g. suppose that you are a married man who had an extramarital affair and the press reported it. In such a case, it would be in your own interest to hide this information from the Wikipedia article, but it would be probably reverted due to vandalism. I mean: once the beans are spilled, there's no way to take them back. (I don't know if this applies to you.)
