User:Ekabhishek has just made a large number of changes to this article (and to Louise Hay that introduce a large number of claims that are: I have therefore reverted them. HrafnTalkStalk 06:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) sourced to a large number of unscholarly sources of very doubtful reliability -- often little more than PR puffery;
 * 2) often not contained in even these sources.

Notabilty has been established
The notability of Hay House has been established per WP:NOTE. If you do not feel that this is notable, please precisely list reasons.

And, please, quit harrassing this and other spiritualist articles with notability tags. Thanks, Madman (talk) 10:33, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Notabilty has been asserted not established

 * 1) Establishing notability, per WP:NOTE, requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
 * 2) eight of the eleven citations are to Hay House and/or its foreign partners -- and are thus not "independent".
 * 3) of the remaining three, one is a brief commercial-blurb/bio of Hay herself that makes no mention of Hay House, one is simply a financials summary, leaving only a short profile in a publishers' trade magazine (Forward) -- hardly "significant coverage".

As to your latest baseless accusation and demand, I would request that you please: HrafnTalkStalk 13:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Follow WP:AGF by stopping making such baseless accusations
 * 2) Follow WP:V by stopping restoring unsourced material
 * 3) Follow WP:NOTE by providing evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", rather than simply asserting notability
 * I think that the citations are above average for a stub article. Here are hundreds and hundreds of Google news hits.  This subject is obviously notable. Madman (talk) 14:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The (newly inserted) San Diego Union-Tribune piece would probably count as "significant coverage". But "obviously notable" is a cop-out -- it is asserting notability without bothering to do the hard work of finding substantial independent sources, that are necessary for building a credible article in any case. That is why WP:NOTE & WP:ORG explicitly require WP:RSs. It is also interesting to note that the 1984 date is not/is no longer in the Billboard piece -- another piece of erroneous pseudoinformation due to careless sourcing.

I updated this page. I would love to find more information on the different branches of the company (such as their self help apps and websites), but have had trouble finding good sources.

 * This may indicate a lack of notability. I see a couple of independent sources listed, though.  — Paleo  Neonate  – 03:24, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
