Comment – Regardless of whether or not this article should be deleted, the nomination shows a thorough lack of understanding of what is and is not an acceptable reason to nominate an article. It furthermore suggests that the nominator failed to perform WP:BEFORE. "I performed WP:BEFORE and believe the article fails notability criteria" is a valid reason for nominating an article for deletion; "Somebody put up a tag on this obscure article in 2012" is not. Notability tags or a lack thereof are not arbiters of what is or isn't wrong with an article, especially with one as rarely edited as this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTechnician27 (talk • contribs) 05:10, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect to Terry Laughlin. I can't find any significant sources that go into depth on this concept to meet WP:GNG. Everything seems to be primary or a sales pitch for swimming lessons. It is covered well enough in the Laughlin article. LizardJr8 (talk) 02:50, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect – The subject does not appear notable enough to warrant its own article, but it should be redirected to Terry Laughlin. Major edits from 2006 to 2012 (especially those from IPs) reek of COI editing that this article was never able to recover from, so even if the subject were notable enough, a legitimate effort to reform the article would require WP:TNT or something very close.
