 * Delete - however, can education techniques really be trademarked? However, certainly fails WP:N.--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 02:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I am an admin and was working on this as the AfD was close. I want to post it so that those who address this issue in the future have an overview of the area. Since it was posted after the close of this AfD, it should not be considered part of the close consensus. There is plenty of reliable source material for Clinical Somatic Education and Somatic Education. A trouble with this topic is that everyone wants in on the Wikipedia action with their own article and/or their own twist on the topic. The "techniques" and businesses latched onto the legitimate terms of somatic psychology and/or somatic cell and ran with it. There certainly is enough info for at least some article the somatic techniques and one or two of the businesses. Someone needs to search out all the players in this area and determine which meet WP:N and which have only enough reliable source info to be mentioned in existing articles. Here is the related family to the somatic education topic (red links are provided in case the articles are created in the future):
 * Alexander Technique - No opinion
 * Feldenkrais Method. Keep - Merge into it or redirect Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education, The Feldenkrais Method of somatic education, Institute for the Study of Somatic Education
 * Feldenkrais - Keep as disambiguous page
 * Hanna Somatic Education Centre - Redirect to Somatic education along with The Hanna Somatic Education Centre
 * Somatic anxiety - Merge to Somatic psychology
 * Somatic disciplines - Merge into Somatic education
 * Somatic education Keep or merge to Somatic psychology - The topic for this article would be the overall "Somatic" education/technique system. It could mention the business off shoots of this system, and some of those businesses could have their own Wikipedia article (such as Somatics Systems and Feldenkrais Method). Also, it is not spelled as Somatic Education, which is actually Somatics Systems, Inc.
 * Somatic Experiencing - Merge into Somatic education.
 * Somatic psychology Keep This seems to be the source of all the "business" developed around the topic. It seems to include the Somatic education concept.
 * Somatic Responses - Delete as non notable band.
 * Somatics Systems - Keep. It's actually known as Somatics Systems, Inc. Merge into Somatics Systems /redirect to it: Somatic Education (with the capital "E" for Education), Clinical Somatic Education, Clinical Somatic Education Training Program, Clinical Somatic Education Society, The Clinical Somatic Education Society, Clinical Somatic Education Professional Training Program, Somatic Systems Institute
