 * Delete Wrote one book back in 2003, doesn't seem notable to me. Kj cheetham (talk) 00:57, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep – Actually pretty well known for her work and for the two+ books she has written. Both of her books have a lot more Amazon ratings that my book has.  Nom just doesn't like her "crackpot" ideas, which is not a reason to exclude her from wikipedia. Dicklyon (talk) 02:29, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you find independent reviews (other than on Amazon), or sources that have more than a mention about her? Please see my comment at WP:FTN, without better independent coverage I'm also about to endorse deletion for lack of notability.  Thanks, — Paleo  Neonate  – 03:35, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - I cannot access the Psychology Today article, but the other two independent (although still in-universe in their field) books Integrative Psychiatry and Brain Health (that only uncritically cites her own book) and Fundamental Research in Artificial Intelligence at NASA only have short mentions of Lansky, not significant coverage. The other sources are authored or co-authored by Lansky.  This does not meet WP:NBIO (quote: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.") and the lack of an article on Wikipedia may be better than one that is critical (in case notability, if any, was only derived from the controversial views she promoted; but if that was the case, wouldn't there also be more coverage in independent sources?).  — Paleo  Neonate  – 06:32, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * delete Anti-vaxxer who cured Autism (capitalised) through homeopathy. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Paleoyoungster. I’ll format my I !vote when I’m not using my iPad. Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 14:29, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of reality-based sources describing the subject. Guy (help!) 15:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of in-depth independent sources, as per Paleobaby. User:Dicklyon, do you indeed have a COI here, as asked by Andy Dingley above? Bishonen &#124; talk 21:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC).
 * I have disclosed that Lansky is a friend. I've known her since 1981 through mutual friends in the Silicon Valley tech community. Dicklyon (talk) 22:28, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough significant coverage from reliable sources to establish WP:GNG and does not pass WP:NAUTHOR. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:34, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and close: Fails GNG. Shashanksinghvi334 (talk) 10:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
