There used to be a WikiPedia page about Leon Redler. At one point it contained a link to my article about Redler. However, the whole page has now been taken down by WikiPedia editors. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Leon_Redler These are the reasons:
- 11:38, 2 January 2018 JzG talk contribs deleted page Leon Redler (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion (TW))
- 14:13, 26 August 2010 Anthony Bradbury talk contribs deleted page Leon Redler (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)
Which reads to me like the page was regarded as promotional, and, somewhat amusingly, that the person was not important enough to have a WikiPedia page.
This reminded me of a small incident in connection with Redler’s sidekick, whom he “referred” me to, in Oxford. After I stopped “seeing” her I discovered that she was dishonestly advertising her commerical services on a local authority newsboard intended for voluntary community organisations. I wrote to them and they removed her advert. This kind of minor but persistent dishonesty is something which the critic of psychotherapy, Jeffrey Masson, draws attention to in his books, for example Against Therapy. and The Assault on Truth. (I can’t remember in which exact book he makes this point).
