Biography of unremarkable trance medium (fails WP:GNG). Currently sourced to the medium's own book, the medium's website, an article in a fringe publication (an image of which is hosted on the medium's website), and a YouTube account presumably controlled by the medium. Did I mention this is a BLP? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:01, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep; I've found articles in the London Free Press and The Patriot Ledger, which I can forward to anyone wanting to expand/verify the article (unfortunately they're not in a URL-ready format). Ironholds (talk) 08:48, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Extraordinary claims of healing, intuition, etc. exclusively sourced to the subject himself. Does not appear to have the significant impact on society that would satisfy WP:BIO. - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:45, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:BIO makes no mention of a significant impact on society - WP:BIO is about reliable, third-party sources, which I have found. Ironholds (talk) 16:22, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete not enough secondary source coverage to justify a biographical article. Gigs (talk) 17:00, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
