[edit] why is John Horgan notable?

[edit] Ethnicity Caucasian - U.S. ?????

Were his books bestsellers, or critically acclaimed, or cited by scholars? If Horgan gets a book review by irritating a famous person, I don't think that in itself makes him notable. What has he said that is new? People have long wondered if science will "go on" forever or if it will some day, "stop", run out of discoveries, solve everything, (or just become too hard-Richard Feynman). Horgan thinks, like many other people, science will someday stop, and he thinks it will stop soon. Likewise, many Christians think the world will end soon. A Christian does not become notable solely for that belief. If you do think Horgan is notable, please say why and remove the deletion template. There need be no hard feelings.

Rich i appreciate ur communicative probity upon my Talk Page of ur determination that this author is not "notable" and that therefore, you have instigated via wiki-flag that this article be nominated for deletion. I entered his book details on this article because I had encountered it in the spirit of serendipity amongst my research and work. I personally am not familiar with this book, person nor their work and I have researched, read and practiced extensively in Mysticism Studies and have rarely encountered reference to him or found his works cited. That said, I am unable to determine whether or not his work is notable in full confidence.

[edit] Removed inappropriate statement of what Horgan "believes"

Sorry, Mr. Horgan, but you cannot put a mere statement of your own beliefs into an article about yourself without its being removed; Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Any statement about a person's beliefs appearing in Wikipedia -- or any other reality-based venue -- must be done by citing where that individual expressed the beliefs in question. This is called a citation. Daqu 19:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
