 * Delete Non-notable scientologist who once taught at a community college and is, surprise!, opposed to mainstream psychiatry. Delete this biography and remove the related material from the Anti-psychiatry article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kazoovirtuoso (talk • contribs) 02:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. I was originally wondering how everyone can be so sure that the article has been created on the basis of anti-psychiatry, since there are many mainstream people opposed to electroshock therapy these days and the article doesn't have a talk page yet. When looking at the anti-psychiatry article, it describes Breeding this way: "a controversial social critic of psychiatric practices who is closely allied with the Church of Scientology through its Citizens Commission for Human Rights." If he's so controversial, it seems there would be sources discussing these controversies and perhaps he does meet criteria for an article of his own. I suspect that he's not notable on any front since I couldn't find sources saying anything about him other than he received a Scientology award, but if so, the content of the linking article needs to be changed to reflect that.--Gloriamarie (talk) 05:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * was not going to bring this up here but the article was created by a person who has a long history of pro-scientology, anti-psychiatry edits. Ridernyc (talk) 09:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - insufficient third-party sources here to demonstrate notability. Robofish (talk) 18:48, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
