Speedy deletion of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
A tag has been placed on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mkeranat (talk) 20:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[Copied from deleted article talk page:]

It seems that a page with this same title existed in the past and was deleted as being advertising. Perhaps someone was trying to promote a program or service. That is not the case now.

This new page is being posted by a staff member of the center where the MBSR program originated. It is NOT posted for advertising purposes but rather because this program and its founder Jon Kabat-Zinn are noted in other pages on Wikipedia. So there is a gap in the information and this new page is an attempt to fill that gap.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is a widely researched treatment program and is considered the "gold standard" of stress reduction programs by the National Institutes of Health.

I hope to add more information (particularly about clincal research) and links in the future.
