May require a phone call to confirm.
Whitepages verifies removals with an automated phone call and won't process the request without it. Each listing must be removed separately.
Keeping it removed
Most people-search sites keep ingesting fresh public records, so a removed listing can reappear months later under a new URL. The reliable fix is cutting off the sources where you can (for UK users, start with the open electoral register) and re-checking periodically.
