Teal Swan

Contested speedy. None of the sources given are solid or independent enough to establish notability, and can find nothing better. Unremarkable snake oil merchant self-promoting nudnik. TheLongTone (talk) 13:41, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Of the 22 purported references in the article, zero of them meet our standard for independent, reliable sources. That doesn't get into the BLP grounds for deletion, which are substantial, especially with the state of the references. I am less certain whether or not an article on this subject could be written. This Delaware Online (the online branch of The News Journal) article about Inside Out somewhat inexplicably treats Swan as an expert and spends more time discussing her beliefs about childhood emotion than it does the film. And while this article makes literally only a passing mention of Swan, it implies the existence of a three-part series on Swan and her claims by KIVI-TV. I'm neutral as to whether those two sources constitute sufficient framework for a biographical article. But I'm not neutral about the current content here; it needs to go.

 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a WP:SOAPBOX to describe one's problems. It's also not a place to WP:PROMOte one's business or views. There's no claim of notability in the article, and even WP:BOMBARDed with questionable refs, it fails WP:GNG. Kraxler (talk) 17:15, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - search showed no notability. The nom and above editors have said it all.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
