Non-notable author of technical books. Article was started by User:Stapelbe and has been edited mainly by a single-purpose account who is possibly affiliated with the publisher of Stapelberg. A Google search, when removing sites like amazon, borders, etc, only gets 33 results. There's nothing at all on Google News about him. Sandor Clegane ( talk) 03:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC) reply
Perhaps I should have a right to step into this fray, as I am the subject of the posted article - Rudolph Frederick Stapelberg. While it has been somewhat flattering to see my name posted on Wikipedia, I feel that this fray about who should feature, or who shouldn't, has become daunting indeed. I also feel that the initial presumptions should be set straight. I did NOT initiate this posting, nor did I adopt the account of 'stapelbe'. The content of the article appears very similar to my books' autobiography. The posting DID originate from some book retailer (presumably from a member of the book retailer's assoc. - hence the account stapelbe). In all objectivity, I do find the person 'Sandor Clegane', who seems reminescent of 'Brotherhood Without Banners' somewhat vindictive, but at the same time, I also find 'Acpredat', who appears to be a member of the publishing academy, somewhat hard-headed in prevailing to maintain the posting. For my part, the posting of my name on Wikipedia is not conducive to maintaining any privacy, and I for one, would welcome it to be removed. The Google listing of book retailers under Rudolph Frederick Stapelberg should be sufficient enough for any book retailer's association or publishing academy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RFStapelberg ( talk • contribs) 23:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC) reply
