Family Systems Engineering

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article promotes a program that was originated by Fowowe. A Google search shows no evidence that any independent scholars or researchers are citing Fowowe's approach. It appears to be simply the name of his traveling family-self-improvement roadshow. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:09, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello Robert, thank you for your review. I am going to remove the aspects that may not be of compliance, and continue to work on improving the article overall. I will like to request for a bit more of time, expert support, till the article meets the Wikipedia standards. Thank you for your support. Newcreationxavier (talk) 03:31, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * User:Newcreationxavier - I don't think that you understand. My contention is that the whole article is not compliant.  If there haven't been independent scholars or researchers who cite Fowowe's work, then no amount of work on the article will make it notable.  Robert McClenon (talk) 19:24, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, do you have any affiliation with Fowowe? If so, please declare it in accordance with the conflict of interest policy.  Robert McClenon (talk) 19:26, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete No proper references, the references that do exist are either to self-published sources or to sources that have nothing to do with the subject itself (e.g., Tony Robbins book). Attempted searches do not find any significant, independent WP:RS.  There is no SNG to compare it to, and it does not pass WP:GNG.  Appears to be a family- and marriage-counseling paradigm of a particular denomination in Nigeria without significant attention from any outside commentators.
