Lacks the multiple, nontrivial reliable sources to build an article, tagged for over two years trying to fix. Thargor Orlando (talk) 13:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Does not appear to meet WP:BASIC, reliable secondary sources seem hard to find. Balaenoptera musculus (talk) 14:21, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete this article treats the oxymoronically named "Institute for Noetic Science" as a serious academic enterprise, and lavishes praise upon this woman as being involved in said enterprise. Unfortunately the with half a brain can see through the nonsense that is "noetic science".  Fails WP:PROF, might meet WP:GNG if additional sources can be found, but delete until then.  Additional notes (1) there's a copy of this at User:Seofon/Sandbox.  Secondly, the author  appears to be an WP:SPA and  was blocked for block evasion by  but I don't know who's sock he was.

 * Delete. Holdings of her books number in the few hundreds, which is very low for the self-help publishing sector. There's quite a bit of YouTube and Twitter ephemera, but Schlitz also has a fairly large body of published research. WoS shows 29 papers going back to 1980, but an h-index of only 8. I would categorize this as very average. Agricola44 (talk) 17:39, 20 May 2014 (UTC).
 * Delete Very much a fringe parapsychologist, the problem being she is not notable enough and reliable sources can not be located. Goblin Face (talk) 03:12, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
