Suggestions for changes to meet WP standards on non-advertisement rather than deletion:
 * Change introduction to reflect relevant aspects of the techniques more so than the development of the technique by the founding author, which can instead be developed into a 'History of CVT' section on its own
 * Reference the peer-reviewed articles from the academic journal JVOICE (Journal of Voice) where several articles have been published on Complete Vocal Technique, some by the owner of CVT, and some by non-affiliated researchers from other universities around the world (see an example here: and another here and another one here
 * Reference the abundance of internationally acclaimed conferences in which CVT is being presented and discussed by non-CVI affiliated researchers and vocal coaches
 * Change references to the educations in CVT into is own section with references to multiple companies offering such courses in various countries of the world
 * Reference the number of thesis work done by PhD students around the world. See for instance as an example from the University of Vienna of Classical Singing.
 * Since CVT has become the largest agreed-upon method of vocal teaching in the world (at least comparing the amount of teachers of CVT to the amount of teachers from other methods such as Estill (EVT), Speech-Level singing (SLS), etc.) and should be represented on Wikipedia. Currently CVT accounts for 390 Authorised CVT Teachers from 41 countries as compared to 240 from EVT with varying levels of method proficiency, and 21 from SLS with varying levels of method proficiency

@Anthony Appleyard I only see one section in which you marked the CVT page as advertisement, which was the first section mentioning the founder of the technique. If this was written from a neutral point of view pr. WP guidelines §2.1.11 and placed as a section on the 'History of CVT', would this warrant not deleting the page?

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete as advertisement in its current state. Query to : Are you connected with the institute?  If you have a conflict of interest, it should be declared sooner rather than later.  -- Finngall   talk  18:33, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Answer to : Thanks for reaching out on a talk, very helpful! I am a PhD student conducting a research project on CVT/CVI and a co-author on some of the recent published academic articles on the techniques. If possible, I am happy to receive the original text, correct/edit it, and send it to an editor for proof-reading (and check for neutral tone). MathiasAaenThuesen (talk) 18:41, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- unsourced original research. Wikipedia already has an article on Complete Vocal Institute; there's no need for two articles on these closely related topics. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:02, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
