It is impossible to tell from reading this article whether any or all of the texts ascribed to Xenocrates are extant. Please consider updating this to include this crucial information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.81.203.45 (talk) 23:11, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can somebody, please, erase the nonsense "He followed the stoic philosophy practiced by those in his inner circle such as the teachings of Seneca." Being born more than 300 years before Seneca, Xenocrates can hardly have done this, apart from being a scholarch of the Academy and not a Stoic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:2DE4:DB00:C0E6:8CFE:19E9:535B (talk) 14:02, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His name was not Xenocrates it was Xenophrates… Giadimaggio (talk) 07:08, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

marking stub

I'm marking this article as a stub despite its length - the only reliable source cited is cited solely for Xenocrates date of birth, meaning this article does not even meet the criteria for a start class article.

All citations of ancient sources should be supported by modern 20th century sources, not based on 19th century ones that cite ancient sources uncritically, or worse, original interpretations. - car chasm (talk) 18:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
