[edit] Arthur Ceppos

Ceppos was the original publisher of Dianetics and briefly a director of the orignal Dianetics Foundation. He apparently also had some involvement with gestalt therapy. Aside from that, the article is mostly not about him and not verifiable where it is.

  • Delete as is: The person's profile is high enough that a biography is potentially encyclopedic, but this is neither a biography nor encyclopedic. Utgard Loki (talk) 16:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - I can't verify this person either. --Starionwolf (talk) 01:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete have found a few secondaries, but nothing that would establish notablility other than a WP:COATCoffeepusher (talk) 02:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I misunderstood WP:COAT, I don't believe it has any bias...however it is a non notable subject who only helped publish with Hubbard once.Coffeepusher (talk) 03:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete There are some here-and-there references to him in books and news stories covering the early years of Scientology[1], but nothing notable. Any useful bits might be moved to History of Dianetics. AndroidCat (talk) 04:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, as unsourced WP:OR, has been since November 2007. Also agree with AndroidCat (talk ยท contribs) re: coverage in sources, if there is any potential info to be kept, History of Dianetics sounds like the best place to put it (though it'd have to be sourced to WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources, and not simply a paste from this unsourced article).

  • Delete, not notable and unsourced, even though story is interesting.--Fahrenheit451 (talk) 13:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
