The article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NPEOPLE - For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". WP:BEFORE revealed no additional WP:RS that addresses the subject directly and in-depth that would establish notability.  // Timothy ::  talk  19:38, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak keep . Searching for "Albert Mason", I find a fair number of newspaper articles from the '50s about his experiments with hypnotism, and this account in a book debunking fringey theories. Debatable whether his miraculous "cure" of warts by hypnotism falls under WP:1EVENT. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:09, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Having just added a bunch of newspaper sources, I'm now a firm keep. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:54, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete while I respect vote, I've not been able to find those newspaper articles he mentions, and the book by itself is not enough to meet WP:NBIO. If they could add the articles, I'd be happy to reconsider my !vote. Eddie891 Talk Work 14:37, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Voici :) Again, it seems like he got coverage for just this one supposed cure, but I'm not sure a move to Albert Mason's cure of warts by hypnotism would be very felicitous … AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:33, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG per improvements by AP. I found some other sources as well, will add later. Eddie891 Talk Work 17:04, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep appears notable per the RS and the AleatoryPonderings improvement. Wm335td (talk) 19:52, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
