Peter Field

Completely fails to meet WP:BIO. Current sources do not directly address the subject and a search for '"peter field" hypnotherapy' did not turn up any suitable sources in gnews or gbooks. SmartSE (talk) 15:29, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree, fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:18, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep I think there are enough sources to indicate notability for Field. The way the article was written made it seem like a promotional piece, but I think his standing in the field of hypnotherapy at least warrants some inclusion on Wikipedia. I've reduced the article down to a stub for now. I think it can be expanded later, but it needs to use a more neutral, less promotional tone. I feel like it meets the minimum for WP:GNG, based on his standing as a Huffington Post columnist and his appearances on BBC and radio talk shows. gargleafg (talk) 03:54, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you state which sources provide the "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" part of WP:BIO? Many people who appear on TV or are mentioned in newspapers are not notable. We need sources directly discussing him. SmartSE (talk) 17:56, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO lacks Significant Coverage the subject has been hypnotherapist for over 30 years but there is little coverage of him for over 29 years .It is only in the last 1 year in 2014 that he writes his first book The Chi of Change  now a single book, with excepts from reviews clearly fails WP:AUTHOR and further he has written 9 brief pieces in a newspapers since March 2014 and has appeared in some TV and radio talk shows.But there is nothing which directly discusses the subject except for his website.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 22:51, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete purely promotional bio, supported by references to press releases. Declared paid editor, which is not reason for deletion, but reason for very careful examination to see if  the notability meets our standards and the work is suitable for an encycopedia .
