Notability issue
Moved from User talk:Meco: Not getting you, have read WP:BIO twice now. And I am not seeing any problems with notability. maybe you need to be a bit more clear with you objection. WP:BASIC covered. WP:ANYBIO covered WP:CREATIVE covered.

I need your objection defined clearly. Or are you just trying to bully me? Benjaminw w (talk) 13:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * For starters, it would help if Childe was referred to in a reliable source. One source is presently listed that is not Childe himself. It is listed as . Is this a scientific journal called Biofeedback? I am unable to find this on googling "Biofeedback journal". You need to add some additional reference so that I am able to verify this source, such as a url or issn number. And I might add, even if this is a mainstream scientific journal, this independent source alone would not be sufficient to satisfy the notability requirements. __meco (talk) 14:21, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello everyone,


 * I have located that journal. It appears to be scientific, as I found it through the local University library. Apparently issues from 2001 to 2008 can be read for free by everyone, online (more recent ones only for Assiciation members). I also located that article which is cited in the W.P. article on Mr Childre ('only had a glance at it though, for lack of time).


 * Here you are:


 * Biofeedback. Published by the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback. Wheat Ridge, Colorado.


 * Print edition: ISSN 2158-348X


 * Electronic edition: E-ISSN 1081-5937


 * Annual volumes (4 issues each). Vol. 36 is of the year 2008; Vol. 29 = 2001 (i.e. containing the literature source cited in the W.P. article).


 * Access via Scientific libraries or via the Association Homepage directly.


 * Good luck and kind regards, -- 147.142.186.54 (talk) 17:47, 10 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I have now also provided a link to the online version at the references section of the W.P. article, so it will be more convenient for everyone. -- 147.142.186.54 (talk) 16:32, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Addition: I noticed that several of his books have also been translated (German is the one I saw; that is not surprising since the second largest book market in the world - or at least "western" world - is in that language, as far as I know; other versions may exist as well). I am meaning to say: the more widespread someone's thoughts have become, the more relavant he looks for an encyclopaedia, does he not? / What his ideas may be worth is of course a completely different question... -- 147.142.186.54 (talk) 17:43, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

I needed this
That's great Meco, I am working on all that you have said, it seams like he is a very shy man and there is little or no info on the web. I have been able to get hold of one of the other scientist a Dr Bradley, as soon as I get the information you asked for I will pop it on the page. hopefully it with be more than one article let see what I come up with.

BTW how do I get hold of ISDN or ISSN number from a published article?

 * I solved the ISSN problem - see above. -- 147.142.186.54 (talk) 15:52, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

His Homepage
You can find his homepage under www.heartmath.org. -- 147.142.186.54 (talk) 18:13, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

"Widely accepted by the medical community"
This article directly contradicts this one: Heartmath Institute, additionally one article does not mean wide acceptance. Lairzoo (talk) 15:39, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Credentials
What are his credentials? Can't find them via google.com or his website… 12.180.133.18 (talk) 11:24, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

He doesn't have any. Chamberlian (talk) 06:00, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

"Doc"
If Doc is his given name, it shouldn't really be listed like a nickname?Chamberlian (talk) 06:00, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

References are dead links
The original links for sources all point to credential-locked webpages, and all the archive links in the reference section point to webcitation pages with dead DB connections. Very problematic for an article that espouses such fringe views? Could somebody more familiar with the article history / subject matter please address this? ƒin (talk) 09:39, 9 February 2022 (UTC)


 * webcte has been down a while it may or may not come back. There's nothing preventing someone from switching to archive.org or archive.today if they feel it is important. -- Green  C  14:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
