Current article relies exclusively on primary sources. Searches in HighBeam, Google News, and my library's online database only identify brief mentions and a book review, but no substantial coverage on Tierra. CorporateM (Talk) 03:50, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete He does appear to be a founder of the American Herbalists Guild, but its notability is also questionable. In a search I found only his own books, no coverage of him as required to meet WP:BIO. Most of the article is not even about him, but is a defense of various systems of herbology, with lengthy quotes from Tierra and other practitioners. --MelanieN (talk) 18:17, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
