Delete biographical stub with no adequate source regarding notability. An item listed as trivia at IMDB is not sufficient proof that he inspired The Bourne Identity. Doczilla 07:10, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article copied from stated reference.  Matthew  Yeager  07:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand. Bourne is a notable case in psychology that has seen close attention for a century. Bourne was studied by William James. There are over 500 results in Google Books, including at least one with his name in the title. --Dhartung | Talk 08:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That doesn't mean he merits his own article. So far, he's just worth mentioning in the dissociative fugue article, which needs more content anyway. Doczilla 08:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.. --Dhartung | Talk 09:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
