Colette Aboulker-Muscat

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This biography is supposed to be about a Jewish mystic who started a therapeutic technique which has "been the foundation for the work of many Doctors, Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Artists and Healers around the world".

One fairly major problem: I can't find any decent sources to establish notability.

The sources that exist don't come anywhere near reliable: what exists on Google is of the self-published GeoCities variety. The article cites a book called "The Davidic Families and the Genealogy of Colette Aboulker-Muscat". After a bit of searching, I found out that it is a self-published source. According to the listing on the National Library of Israel catalogue, the publisher is one "Aliza Yehezkiel", who also happens to be the author.

As for other books? Google Books brings up a few things, but I can't find any significant coverage, just passing mentions of the fact that she existed, was some form of mystic and was based in Jerusalem. The aforementioned National Library of Israel list only the self-published 'Davidic Families' book as the only source in their catalogue on the subject. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:57, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete After coming across the article through new page patrolling it was clear that it needed a significant amount of work: no sources (except for the mentioned "Lineage" section), lots of placeholders. I thought that it might be possible to find them, a quick search seemed to bring up a reasonable number of results; however it became very clear that none of these sources could be considered reliable. The Jerusalem post news sources, which could have potentially be used for asserting notability appear to be passing mentions only. --Mrmatiko (talk) 10:12, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep A search finds multiple published works by the subject and additional foreign language sources. A search in Google Books finds not only her works, but a network of references in books written and published by other authors that make notable mentions of the subject. The current article makes weak, but borderline credible, claims of notability and there is adequate material available to flesh out this article with additional sources.

 * Delete No references means NN and not worthy of separate article. Stub and merge into Gerald Epstein for his discovery. if someone wants to work on this article quickly, it might make a difference. --Shuki (talk) 19:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
