Michael Grosso unreliable source

@Publius Obsequium: the source you are adding is a book written by Michael Grosso a well known paranormal writer who also claims to be psychic himself and once attacked by ghosts. Grosso is not a professional biographer or trained historian. His books have no acceptance in the academic world. We would not cite this source per the number of WP:Fringe claims it makes. Grosso actually believes St. Joseph could levitate who also invokes quantum woo. Definitely not a reliable source for a historical biography. Psychologist Guy (talk) 22:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should add it to the reception but along with Radford's criticism of it? I agree that it shouldn't be on the biography section, tho. Bonus Person (talk) 03:18, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can see no reason why Grosso's book should be discussed at all. It is WP:FRINGE exemplified. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was originally inserted with erroneous attribution. I corrected and trimmed it, but do agree the source is unacceptably credulous fringe. - LuckyLouie (talk) 12:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A book first published in 2016 was attributed to Jule Eisenbud, who died in 1999? That is just bizarre... AndyTheGrump (talk) 12:19, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
