Recreation of a previously deleted article. Still no reliable, third-party sources to establish notability, largely promotional and supported only by self-published fringe sources. Famous _dog (c) 19:47, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete looks like a classic promotional article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:37, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice to re-creation, preferably as a redirect The article itself uses future tense, and after reading [1], suggests that the article's future tense is advancing a split from the founding ideas of NLP. For reference, one of the two primary sources is a biography with extensive detail, [2], and the second is written by the topic.
As for the topic itself, reading the article on NLP shows analysis that reaches into concepts of religion, just as the second primary source lists "Spiritual" as an additional layer of the "NeuroLogical levels". The NLP article's mention of New Age quasi-religion fits in with the topic's association with University of California at Santa Cruz. The NLP article has 11 cites to the topic at hand. I see that the topic at hand has been translated into Russian, German, French, and Italian. I find in Google searches that the topic has a patent regarding biofeedback, and the primary-source biography couples his work with the biofeedback game "Wild Divine", a topic with Ghits in Google Scholar. Certainly Wikipedia notable as per the lede and nutshell; although if we are having trouble getting a standalone article on the topic, space could be created at NLP to identify him in a section called History.

Delete this is a CV with a few promotional sentences tacked on. No claim of meeting WP:NAUTHOR. No independent references, and I was unable to find any. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:02, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion on whether a redirect to Neuro-linguistic programming is appropriate. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:03, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Unscintillating: for adding those previous AfDs (which were thrown out on largely procedural grounds). Famousdog (woof)(grrr) 15:07, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
