It strikes me that when censorship is invoked it is very often an
indication of lack of a more rational basis for the argument. 

Have you read the comments of others about this?  This is a
"biography" teased from numerous sources which are fundamentally about
something else.  Even if you have no problem with that, others may,
and that does not indicate censorship, it indicates a credible concern
with the abuse of article space to further an agenda (in this case
attacking Brandt, or maybe just having an article because he doesn't
want one).

To dismiss valid concerns held by apparently significant numbers of
people as "censorship" is at best a gross oversimplification.
