Michael Lavery

Nothing actually convincing of independent notability and significant with the listed links simply being trivial and unconvincing themselves, none of them what is needed for substantiating this article, with my own searches then only finding a few links of such triviality also. There are no significant library book collections at all and I'm literally not seeing anything else better, with the history also being self-explanatory, consisting of nothing significant.

Michael Lavery as an artist has been included on a handful of websites and it isn't immediately trivial. But certainly Michael Lavery the founder of whole brain power is not trivial. It is mentioned on numerous blogs and, if not entirely dedicated to it, whole brain power has been refered to by newspapers such as the orange county register and the New york times. I believe there was also a book called something like 'eye yoga' that refers to the exercises of whole brain power. The benefits of the program may be debatable but the stir it had made meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.32.131.79 (talk) 08:52, 14 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete -- a vanity page on an unremarkable individual. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:52, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as an artist, the subject fails WP:ARTIST on all counts, no museum collections or exhibitions, no critical assessment of his work in the form of reviews or monographs. There is a brief mention in the NYT at http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/31/sports/tennis/battling-arm-injuries-a-tennis-player-changes-hands.html but that does not help to pass GNG, since it's about his method, not him.
