:I personally believe Castaneda was a fictional writer. Actually some user removed when I cited (from references) that he was a polemic author (may be correctly). On the other hand his writings (even been fictional, in my opinion) brings esoteric knowledge (true or not). And this article it not about Castaneda, he is a secondary source about ethereal entities. Our mission it is expose that with neutrality, the reader must decide what is worth or not (not us). The Castaneda section and all other sections do not intend to state what is true or false. The sections are only public expositions to the reader know what such an author or doctrine proclaimed (be true or false). That is the role of an encyclopedia. And that is why I think that Tag in his section it is inappropriate. Besides, there are dozens of different authors talking about his writings (I was lazy not citing them, actually I didn’t have time).
:In my opinion Castaneda used esoteric knowledge to build his romances (but my opinion doesn’t matter, I’m an editor, not a critic). Bottom line, what matters it is to expose his view and any other available; we editors cannot deny that to readers, we must expose with neutrality his allegations. I will give another example: there is another author (20 century) mentioned in the article that I simply would prefer not mention at all, but we cannot do that (I don’t believe him, but his writings are here showed with neutrality). <small>[[User:Hour of Angels|Hour of Angels]] ([[User talk:Hour of Angels#top|talk]]) 19:25, 8 May 2011 (UTC)</small>
