Comment Not sure of notability just yet,Keep or redirect to The Body of Myth. I found a review of his book The Body of Myth here and another in the American Journal of Psychiatry seen in this table of contents. He was also quoted in this book, as well as this one and this one.

Here is the American Journal of Psychiatry review of The Body of Myth, it is password protected though. For those without access, it is a 1,335 word review in a peer-reviewed medical journal with an impact factor of 12.539. J04n(talk page) 11:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An observation - Given how readily bio articles are created and our desire for adequate referencing of articles (especially bio articles) we should not have to scratch around trying to dig up refs. Should place the onus on the article creator to provide adequate refs? (well we do with {BLPPROD}) So haven't we got enough to do already? (and isn't 6,824,715 articles enough? ) We do waste a lot of time. Take this article: it was PRODed, REFUNDed and now AFDed! Editors are now scurrying around trying to find refs (an atheistic blessing on them!). Is this how it should work? -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:29, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep as meeting the notability criteria for WP:AUTHOR on the basis of the reviews. I hope Alan above does not mean to imply that it is useless to improve articles. Preferences vary--I personally find it very useful to improve inadequate work, because it might teach the editor how to do it. If we limited participation here to those who can write finished articles at the first draft, our contents would be pathetically incomplete.

Weak keep per DGG. I think this can be fixed. Bearian (talk) 22:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet WP:AUTHOR. The Yoga Journal review is the only one, and the mentions in other books cited are passing ones. The subject's work does not have the significance required by the guideline. Miniapolis 23:13, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What about the review in American Journal of Psychiatry? It is much more expansive than the one in the Yoga Journal. J04n(talk page) 01:44, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Although I can't access it, it sounds like it belongs in the article; one of my pet peeves at AfD is sources which are cited here when they should be in the article. However, I'm not convinced that this one book is influential enough to meet WP:AUTHOR. All the best, Miniapolis 03:18, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The sources may be few, but they seem reliable, and his works seem notable enough. In my personal opinion, the page could use more information, but there is time for that to be provided later. Kaoskitteh (talk) 17:17, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
