Ron Dalrymple

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Biography of a creator and promoter of a fringe theory known as Quantum Field Psychology which posits that (and I quote) "the mind is an energy field that transcends the brain and projects waves of energy, extending through space and touching the universe". There's no indication that this is a notable theory. The current sourcing in the article is dreadful. It consists of five links to his books, one to IMDb, one to healthgrades.com, one to a "suspended account" (not archived, probably a blog of sorts), two to books on quantum mechanics that in all likelihood don't mention Dalrymple and one to the autobiography of Tesla which certainly doesn't mention Dalrymple since Tesla died in 1943. Furthermore, the article is almost a candidate for speedy deletion as it is essentially promotional. Pichpich (talk) 16:49, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Most sources appear to be self-published, not a single source meets MEDRS (subject is a psychologist). Additionally, per the lede: "His theory is the result of an epiphany he experienced at age 19 while attending the University of Maryland and working in NASA’s gifted student program".  This is certainly the first time that I have seen an article acknoweldge that it violates WP:MADEUP but there's gotta be a first for everything.  Possibly also falls under a standard I will now make up called YGBSM. Hyperion35 (talk) 17:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
