[edit] Thomas Galen Hieronymus

Extremely biased, and subject is not very notable. Unfortunately, too notable for me to be comfortable speedy tagging it. Amarkov ^babble 15:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete. My first thought was that this was a likely hoax, but it apparently is not. An obscure American duplicating the work of Wilhelm Reich, it seems. Surprisingly, this apparently made it into The Secret Life of Plants, that eccentric 1970s tract on the paranormal powers of veggies.[1] It may be more notable than this stub makes it out to be, but still not extremely so. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep or redirect to Hieronymus machine. There's enough information that Wikipedia should carry at least one article about it, but the machine may be the best bet. The story about the "scientist" John W. Campbell who constructed one of the machines and claimed not only that the machine WORKED to detect psionic energy but that the schematic DRAWINGS worked as detectors as well... that's classic. Paranormal psychiatry / pseudoscience is a notable subject matter and this man or his machine are names that someone would legitimately want to research. OfficeGirl 01:29, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
