Robert Anton Wilson's influences are well credited, talked about, and shared with his readers in all of his books, on his Wikipedia page, and in his recorded lectures, and seem so well documented and continually discussed by the subject that it seems appropriate for his template to contain such a section.

That's not the point, they are not suitable for a navbox, because, well, they fail
WP:NAVBOX. The field isn't even supported in {{
Infobox person}}
any more. Imagine if every writer, musician, film director, painter, etc., had their established "influences" included in their navboxes. It would be chaos. Imagine what {{
Quentin Tarantino}} would look like! No special exception should be made for this author. --

I won't agree that they don't belong, there are definitely templates where an 'influences' section works well, but you may be right about authors and but I'll remove the section and edit-in some of the links to the 'Related' portion of the template. It'll take a few minutes, then let's discuss the inclusions if you disagree.

Thanks Randy. I have issues with a couple of the links which I think are too tangential (
Church of the SubGenius/
Ivan Stang for example), but not going to bother about them now... --

Per
WP:EXISTING, this section should be removed until articles are created, or independent notability established. --

Will get back to these later, have to leave now. Wilson's wife is a recognized poet and his daughter created and heads up a major medical organization. Both articles will definitely be written someday, thus red links are allowed.
