Notability issues - evaluating the sources

 * I reverted an edit to enable the notability tag to stay. I feel it deserves a bit more attention here. For notability, a LOT more sources are needed, especially more unbiased sources, and preferably a mix of source types (ex. academic-type texts and popular media, which show two very different types of notability). Here's my assessment of the sources:
 * 1. I looked into this many months ago and it seemed that the author Sally Helgeson is a Strozzi graduate; however presently I'm not able to locate a source on that.
 * 2. This source is from an author not connected to Strozzi (that I know) but this reference pertains to Lomi School, not Strozzi. The person by that name is mentioned only once and the Strozzi Institute is not mentioned. Weak.
 * 3. This is only cited once. There isn't a googlebooks preview so here's Amazon's: http://www.amazon.com/Body-Brilliance-Mastering-Vital-Intelligences/dp/1600700268. Pages 70 and 220 are cited. Page 70 isn't shown in the preview but I can see the quote; it's Strozzi's definition of somatics. Okay. Page 220 doesn't reference Strozzi so I think that's an error. Page 221 does, but not particularly relevant. Overall, this source as cited doesn't much strengthen our case for notability. Perhaps it could be mined for more useful tidbits, though. Also, it would be helpful to know what this author's connection to Strozzi is, to assess ability to be impartial.
 * 4. Seems to be a credible source, with no personal bias, simply giving an overview of various people/methods within coaching. I would suggest using this source to back up the various points in the article where possible, replacing weaker sources.
 * 5, 8, 9, 10, 11. Strozzi-Heckler should not be the author of five sources on this article. Most of these should be removed. Some belong in Recommended Reading.
 * 6. I'm not able to evaluate this source due to lack of online preview. Author is well-regarded in the field of somatic healing. Likely a good source for this article.
 * 7. Seems fairly credible. Not sure if the author has a connection to Strozzi; her website doesn't list her training.
 * 11. There isn't a googlebooks preview so here's Amazon's: http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Sex-Mind-Body-Approach-Sexual-ebook/dp/B001CBP0UG. This is only cited briefly. The author's way of writing about Strozzi leads me to think she has a personal connection, so that should be evaluated.
 * I hope this helps clarify why this article still needs a notability tag, and also outlines some possible directions for improvement of the article. --Karinpower (talk) 00:39, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
