 * Delete I found a claim that he helped spark the wellness movement. It also has a few other things that could at a stretch be considered notable; Healthy America Fitness Leaders Award; member of the board of trustees of the National Wellness Institute for over a decade. I am not seeing any indication that these achievements are particularly notable however. Considering this I expected to see a bit more in reliable sources. There is an article in Acta Salus Vitae, which is an obscure czech journal (the article is only cited once according to google scholar) that has a two paragraph section and a reasonable mention in [this https://duepublico.uni-duisburg-essen.de/servlets/DerivateServlet/Derivate-35061/11_miller_1_05.pdf] (looks like a German open access publication). Overall not terribly overwhealming for some of the claims made. What all of these have in common, along with a recent story in The Christian post, are mentions to his book High Level Wellness. So I would ideally say to redirect it to the book, but we don't have an article on that and even a loose google search goes to other peoples writings on the subject, so not even sure that is as notable as suggested. For completeness there are very breif mentions in relation  to other "gurus" in the Sydney Morning Herald and New York Times Magazine. AIRcorn (talk) 20:12, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Many things wrong with this article but it comes down to lack of notability or reliable sources. Trillfendi (talk) 02:53, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete a search does not find adequate independent Rs to establish notability.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:27, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
