This article was heavily edited by Redblackwritings/Lucien van der Walt, with the express purpose of promoting the author's career (alongside the Lucien van der Walt article). Furthermore, it is questionable whether this article reaches the criteria of notability. See Talk:Lucien_van_der_Walt for more evidence of IP addresses which may be associated with Lucien van der Walt that also contributed to this article.
Lucien van der Walt's admittance of this blatant autobiographical, unsourced, non-encyclopedic editing is available in the "Personal statement" from February 2016. In it, he describes his use of the Redblackwritings account: "I apologise sincerely and unreservedly for engaging the issues under the Red.Black.Writings identity without clearly identifying it as mine. I should have done so, from the start. I am sorry if it was misleading. I acted emotionally, and without care. I am truly sorry... But that does not excuse me."
As an aside, it's rather embarrassing for a serious academic to be engaging in such blatant self-promotion, especially under a "once-well-known name I used to use". Since that username was an open secret amongst Lucien van der Walt's friends and colleagues, it displays the author's brazen will to violate Wikipedia policy... it's almost like editing this article under the nickname "IamLucienVDW" - Africanarchist (talk) 21:56, 23 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
