John David Garcia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not convinced of notability. This article has been tagged for inadequate sourcing for five years now, and, having done a WP:BEFORE check I can see why - there appears to by nothing out there on his theories that isn't published by the man himself. I'm open to withdrawing this nomination if a few sources can be found and added, but I personally can't see them anywhere. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 10:24, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I've never heard of John Garcia, and after a quick Google search, not many other people have, either. The books were made up, as my research has to say. Remember the guidelines of this and you will understand. --Hemi9 (talk) 03:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment There are a few passing 3rd party refs such as (most solidly),  and a snippet view of a review of his first book in a Journal of Aesthetic Education and "Marginal aspects of contemporary American culture". On the other hand, also note this on Whitmore Publishing, publishers of his books. AllyD (talk) 19:47, 4 April 2012 (UTC) -strikethrough added after I realised that "ref" is a mirror copy of the Wikipedia article on Spinoza into which Garcia's name has been inserted.

 * Delete The references in the article and found online are insufficient to demonstrate notability. AllyD (talk) 13:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment If this article is deleted, then the two book articles at The Moral Society and Creative Transformation should probably go as non-notable. AllyD (talk) 13:26, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
