Repeatedly tagged for speedy and prod--time to get a more definitive solution. Non notable hypnotist with a few media appearances. One apparently decent reference, but it's just local boy makes good, and seems promotional to me, rather than reliable  DGG ( talk ) 22:41, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: this is a tough case, IMO. The sourcing is pretty weak and promises of improvement have not been forthcoming.  The article is a complete mess and probably COI created.  However, Mr. Ward has appeared on TV as a "mind control expert" and the company he founded - EasyStop does appear to be notable (see http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22easystop%22&btnG=Search&um=1&ned=us&hl=en&scoring=a).  There isn't much material on Mr. Ward readily available 9there is some though), but I don't want to rule out the possibility of better sources entirely.  As such, I think this might be a good candidate for incubation.  I see two possibilities: 1) enough material will be found to support the article; or 2) the little info that can be sourced can be reused in a small section as part of an article on EasyStop.  If DGG doesn't object, I'll make the move and close the AfD. --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
