Draft:John Campbell (American author)

  • Comment: The only notability-qualifying reference for the book itself here is Risler's refutation, as far as I can tell. I'm not sure what the Bullitt pamphlet is doing in here, but I'm left wondering if John Campbell might be notable himself (and so you could fold the info on this book into a page on him)?
    Of the four "should link here" names at the top, only one is a redlink. You can add two of them yourself (they're disamb pages), but William James Campbell appears to be someone else. asilvering (talk) 23:25, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

John Campbell, William James Campbell, William J. Campbell, and Campbell & Powers should link here
