[edit] Ivan Tyrrell

Delete. Fails WP:N and WP:VAIN. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Griffin. --Karnesky 23:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. NawlinWiki 01:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Tyrrell is a notable psychologist. He has published a at least 18 books (including co-writing Nick Leeson's book, Back from the Brink: Coping with Stress [1] [2]). BBC News cites him as an "expert"[3], he has been interviewed by The Washington Times [4], New Scientist has reviewed at least one of his books [5], the Auckland library has 3 copies of one of his books[6], 10 books he wrote or co-wrote are in the British Library [7]. He has also written for the British Holistic Medical Association [8]. There's more out there if anyone wants to look. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 13:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Joe Griffin was deleted. That libraries contain books is really irrelevant. His interview and reviews might lend more to his notability, but Jod Griffin has similar credentials. Given that this article is autobiographical, I think there should be a larger threshold for WP:N. I don't see him meeting that threshold. --Karnesky 14:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I know Joe Griffin was deleted. I'm going to take it to deletion review because I think it was a mistake. The articles need to be edited, expanded and referenced, not deleted. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 15:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete then merge key facts into Human givens. What bothers me about this article, and about Himan givens, is that there is no independent sourcing, reviewing or endorsement from the mainstream. BlueValour 02:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Just for the record, "Delete and Merge" is not a valid option. If you want to merge, you need to keep the source of the merged material as a redirect in order to preserve the GDFL chain. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 15:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
 Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Mangojuice^talk 05:05, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:03, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Can't see that subject is sufficiently notable. Pathlessdesert 16:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notability is not a problem. Please expand this article, so it is not just a CV and therefore, advertising.  Cdcon  17:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep A lot of the references in the article seem to be non-peer reviewed. But Google Scholar does turn up copies of one book in libraries States#tabs. Merge into Human givens sounds plausible but I think that's likely to be less known than Tyrrell and maybe should be on AfD itself. Dlyons493 Talk 19:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per the Google Scholoar results discovered by Dlyons493. RFerreira 21:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
