Another scholar asking for his biography to be deleted:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Art...n#Ian_Dowbiggin

As far as I can make out, the biography was turned into an attack piece by a now-blocked sock, Jabbsworth (T-C-L-K-R-D) . The BLP subject has been blocked too as a "sockpuppeteer" (by Catfish Jim and the soapdish (T-C-L-K-R-D) ), after having made a grand total of 7 edits with two non-overlapping accounts. A prime example of Wikipedia assuming good faith, eh?

Nothing against secularism, but if it stoops to smearing academics because they follow a religious faith ... Dowbiggin is a Catholic, but there may be a wider pattern here, crossing religious boundaries. For example, last month a Buddhist feminist scholar requested deletion of her biography:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Art...n/Rita_M._Gross

and there was Abbas, a Muslim, as well:

Let's collect these cases here.
