Out of curiosity, what is driving your wanting to delete the person's profile? (There are TONS of dead people profiled here.)

Hi Denis,
Here is the link for deletion FAQ:
http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Deletion_FAQ
As you can see, we prefer to not delete, but merge. If that is not appropriate, best to disconnect if the person or persons exists but not in the correct family group. Hope this helps. :-)
