Seth Material

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable and Unencyclopedic. Written like a personal essay in a non-neutral manner. Primary sources are used for claims of notability and does not contain material suitable for an encyclopedia. NoVomit (talk) 12:46, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – I’m sorry if this comes across as sarcastic, but are we talking about the same article? The one I linked to was well written – well sourced and well cited.  Likewise, a Google News search shows these references .  In addition, Google Scholar returns these results ].  I am not sure what standard you are looking at to establish Notability but the one we use here at Wikipedia would definitely include this article.  Thanks ShoesssS Talk 14:42, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * keep - the article kicks off with three citations saying how important it is within the new age movement. Looks fairly notable to me. Totnesmartin (talk) 14:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article is better sourced than 95% of the rest.  I can only conclude either that the nominated article was a vandalized version, or that the only point to this nomination is hostility towards New Age claims. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:55, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep- Article has plenty of sources to establish notability. What materials are not suitable for an encyclopedia?... The new age movement? --Jmundo (talk) 18:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment – Hello NoVomit, I understand that you are a new user, and by the way welcome to the project called Wikipedia. However, I would like to point out that when you have a disagreement with regards to an article, those disagreements are better addressed at the talk page of that article.  It is not an acceptable practice, actually called  bad faith, to bring an article to AFD when one knows that the piece does meet all the eligibility requirements as outlined in notability.  With that said, I would hope you would withdraw your nomination caulking this up to a learning experience with no hard feelings.  If you would like to continue to exercise the community by continuing this AFD I would like to ask a administrator to close this discussion with a Speedy Keep – as notability has been firmly established.
