Johan Robson

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Originally a copyvio. Offending content removed, but as far as I can tell this is still an NN author, no sources, google turns up no related information about this person (seems there is a game designer who is possibly notable named Johan Robson, but nothing for the author.) -Senseless!... says you, says me 17:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I've had a bit of a hunt-around for some of the books listed here and the author himself on Google, and can't find anything. I'd suggest that either this fails WP:HOAX or is correct and the author is indeed a recluse, in which case it fails WP:VERIFY. Colds7ream (talk) 17:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, it's a copyvio from http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,2804/ Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 19:22, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I have read 'Alone' and few of the 'Drake' books. His work is mostly, as the article says, underground publishing. He's a kind of crazy writer.. some of it really mad stuff.  There's a ref. to one of his collections of poetry 'Bewleys and Other Poems' somewhere on the net but it's out of print.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scott D Williams (talk • contribs) 21:26, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm Riemenschneider, the author of this article. I do understand that there is not much about Johan K Robson available on the internet and that is why I have placed this information on Wikipedia.  There is a book by J.K. Robson to be found on Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/Alone-Dark-Official-Strategy-Guide/dp/1559586044. This is not to be cofused with his novel 'Alone'. I would like to point out that Robson is not 'a crazy writer' as D Williams would have us believe but a serious underworld author making some rather pertenent commentary on social and political injustices, albeit in an often humorous and unconventional manner.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heinrich Riemenschneider (talk • contribs) 22:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete since there is not a single hit for this person on Google News, and for an author that is a kind of a lithmus test. I might add that the article is entirely unclear and one has to dig through it to find out what this person actually is notable for. It needs structure, organization into paragraphs, and a lede. That, of course, is not the reason for deletion--the subject's non-notability is. Drmies (talk) 23:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes Robson's writings are weird - VERY WEIRD. I got a copy of his CAPS OFF and if that's not crazy nothing is! It's about this guy in a line of soldiers (I think!!) at some kind of ceremony or other. The story starts with the word 'Caps... and then there's another 135 pages of really, really weird stuff and I'm talking 'crazy' weirdo, off-the-bleenin'-wall weird stuff and the "novel" (if that's what you can call it) eventually ends with ...off!" So the whole story I guess takes place within the time it takes whoever it is who's speaking to say CAPS OFF!  Don't ask me what it's all about. I haven't a clue.  I don't think Robson himself knows either if you ask me!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony Morris-Taylor (talk • contribs) 23:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I was browsing the web and I came across this article about Johan Robson. So I thought I'd create an account so I could join in the discussion. This sort of thing is all new to me but I thought I might write to say that I'm acquainted with the quaint mystery tales called 'Drake' by J.K.Robson. I read them a long time ago but from what I recall they were all rather charming 'tales of the unexpected'. Robson's style seems to be more interested in creating atmosphere rather than telling a good yarn that has a beginning, a middle and an end. I have to say I didn't know about his other work and I was very interested to read that he has been also involved in writing video games too. I've played KGB on occasions myself and I never realized that it was written by the same chap who wrote the Drake tales. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardus-Brett (talk • contribs) 22:40, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Interesting how many of these new SPAs we have, who all talk about the topic in similar terms, all forget to sign their name, all write in the same style, without even stating keep or delete. Drmies (talk) 00:06, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

How does one sign one's name? I'm new to all this. And what is a SPA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardus-Brett (talk • contribs) 07:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
