 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reason: See my comments in (brackets) regarding the introduction of the article.
 * Dr. (not a doctor) Jason Betts is a psychic (no comment) and IQ test author (nothing notable) from Tasmania, Australia. He is the founder and editor of the World Genius Directory, a voluntary directory of geniuses from around the world listed by IQ (not a notable website, but a personal one).[6] He has won numerous awards as a psychic (??????) and also appeared on Season 1 of The One[7] with Andrew Daddo and ABC's Unbelievable.[8] (guest, and extra? Not really notable.) He was recently referred to by Today Tonight as "Australia's Top Psychic."[5] (not an award) He is the Abbot for the Order of the Mystic Rose[2] (?????) and a member of both Mensa International,[3] the Triple Nine Society[1] and the Prometheus Society.[4] (IQ society memberships does not make one notable).

WP:ANYBIO It reads like a article created by the person the article is on, mentioning any detail that could possibly be a claim to fame, often linking to his own youtube videos. Autumnox (talk) 10:20, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I found some media coverage, but it's all very brief, and much of it regional/local. Psychics can be notable if they get enough press coverage, but despite that minor award he hasn't. Not notable. Colapeninsula (talk) 10:49, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
