[edit] comments

Holographic Universe needs a separate article..

[edit] notability

• As usual, I'm befuddled by a wikipedia editor's decision. Michael Talbot is not a notable person? A famous author in the field of science? Please. What are you afraid of -- you're going to run out of paper? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.238.209.10 (talk) 23:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

• Dear wiki people, please I beg you, take off that box about notability! I have never commented on any article, but Talbot, and his book Holographic Universe, were TREMENDOUSLY influential at a pivotal moment in the history of consciousness studies, the new age moment, brain-mind theory, neurotheology, and related fields. I'm sorry that I don't have time to provide references or rewrite the article simply to persuade wikipedia to remove that sign. Let me just say that it is very discouraging as a researcher to come back after all these years and find Talbot, a seminal figure and popularizer of the field if there ever was one, with this nugatory box below his name. Please, please, please think twice before dismissing the legacy of such a truly notable figure. Sorry to make such a fuss, but Talbot was a great inspiration to me and several of my colleagues, though I never met him or anything to do with him. Alas, I wish I could joke about it like the above commenter, but it's just too distressing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.21.3 (talk) 06:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I've checked and don't see any question about notability. His book is published by Harper, and has a respectable sales ranking on Amazon. I'm removing the notability template. --Parsifal _Hello 06:52, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
