Seconded. As mentionned in the title, these are
"personal" pages. Or not ?

The "public state record" is not lost. It may always
be seen by a sysop as a deleted page, and undeleted if
necessary.

So what is the point in refusing the deletion of a
*personal* page ? How wikilove is it to irritate
someone for such an unimportant point ?
