Henry Munn

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Biography of a writer, referenced only to archived copies of his own writings with no evidence of any reliable source coverage about him shown at all. As always, every writer does not automatically get a Wikipedia article just because his own work nominally verifies that he existed -- he needs to be the subject of reliable source coverage written by other people, not the bylined author of the references, to qualify.

 * delete This Huautla Journal; The Place for Trips of the Mind-Bending Kind New York Times article is about the 60's psychedelic culture thing of going to Oaxaca  to seek wisdom by getting high like the  Mazatec people.  Far from portraying Munn as a major figure, the Times menitons him as a kind of groupie, one of the thousands of Americans on psilocybin pilgrimages who followed the crowd.  Here's the bit about him: "There were Beatles songs playing in the streets, remembers Henry Munn, an anthroplogist who first visited in 1965."  That's all, and it's not enough.   Feel free to flag me if you find sources to persuade me otherwise.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:09, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
