Merge from Jim Tucker

The only thing notable about Jim in his article is this book.

That is, even if this book is notable. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 14:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merger: Have expanded the Tucker article and notability is clearly established in several ways not related to the book. Happy to expand this article too if you would like. Simply no need for a merger as each article stands on its own. Johnfos 23:38, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adequately expanded, withraw merge request. I still question whether this one is the most notable Jim Tucker, but that's a RM, rather than a merge request. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 07:43, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article should be about Wambach's book first

It should be noted two other individuals have published books on this topic with the same title: Life Before Life by Helen Wambach and Life Before Life: Origins of the Soul...Knowing Where You Came From and Who You Really Are by Richard Eyre, both available on amazon.com. CarolMooreDC (talk) 13:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just added factoid above. But actually while there are only two ref's to Tucker's book in Books google there are more than a dozen for Wambach's book. There were three to Eyre's book. So notability wise, perhaps this article should be about all three books, starting with Wambachs. I'll put it only list of things to do. INcluding writing an article about Wambach herself. CarolMooreDC (talk) 19:25, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chet B. Snow worked closely with Wambach and when she died just before the release of their sequel he finished the book "Mass dreams of the future" himself.

Notability

Can someone please show, with WP:RS, how this book meets our notability requirements? Thanks, Verbal chat 14:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is plenty of published material here to support notability, per the Wikipedia:Notability (books) criterion which says: "The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself..." Johnfos (talk) 21:24, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Please show this significant discussion of this work in other, independent and mainstream works. Verbal chat 09:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop edit warring on these articles and discuss the issues first to reach a consensus. --EPadmirateur (talk) 11:20, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
