Michael Tsarion

Nice choice! Since it's a new entry, I think it should provide biographical data as well as discussing his specific theories. A section on Atlantis would be nice, but there are many other things he has addressed, among them the occult, extraterrestrial life, British Israelism, and even the 2012 phenomenon. All of these have tie-ins to interpretations of archaeological evidence and narratives about the past. Be sure to review the information in Wikipedia regarding writing about specific individuals. Tsarion has a big web presence that includes a large number of videos on http://youtube.com. It's critical to provide a balanced perspective based on factual information. You may be challenged on his significance, so provide information that would support his inclusion in Wikipedia. Models would include entries on other authors in the New Age genre. Be sure to provide sources for the information you include. Hoopes (talk) 17:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have noted the he has been challenged on his significance (which is probably true) on two different occasions, both leading to deletion. Although I don't expect (as historically indicated) to create a page with lasting implications, I would sure like to try. I guess the logical question would be to ask; How do I do that? From my viewing of other fringe figures, it hinges on how the information is presented and not necessarily to the information presented. Additionally, the majority of the sources will inevitably be collected from the web. How would I present these as credible? I will need assistance in that department.
