[edit] VIP

If you wrote and researched with the founders of NLP and co-wrote one of the most important books on NLP (Frogs Into Princes), than you are a very important person in NLP. Thus Connirae Andreas is a VIP in NLP. So there's no reason to mark this page for speedy deletion, nor for deletion at all. And what annoys me above all things, is that the person that added the deletion-template, did not even explain why he/she didn't estimate Andreas...Davin7 12:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I marked it for speedy deletion, with a template that contained a link to the notability guidelines. Since you're contesting this, I've changed it to a non-speedy deletion. If you believe that this person fits the notability guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability (people), then please correct the error. No offense was meant, and if I've offended you then please accept my apologies. Thanks, Clicketyclack 13:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

What more do I have to tell more than the work she's done. I don't need more words than that:

• Bandler, Richard, John Grinder, Steve Andreas & Connirae Andreas, Frogs Into Princes (1979)
• Bandler, Richard, John Grinder, Steve Andreas & Connirae Andreas, Trance-Formations (1981)
• Bandler, Richard, John Grinder, Steve Andreas & Connirae Andreas, Using Your Brain for a Change (1985)
• Andreas, Steve & Connirae Andreas, Change Your Mind and Keep the Change (1987)
• Andreas, Steve & Connirae Andreas, Heart of the Mind (1989)
• Andreas, Tamara & Connirae Andreas, Core Transformations (1994) Davin7 13:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I've never heard of any of these books, and none of them seems to have articles establishing their notability on Wikipedia. I don't believe that co-authoring several books is sufficient to demonstrate notability according to Wikipedia:Notability (people) or Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Can you cite any independent, reliable sources that can establish her notability? Clicketyclack 13:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Please see also Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Independent sources. Thanks, Clicketyclack 13:17, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Here's just one of the professor's that is teaching her stuf Dr. Robert P. Bostrom, University of Georgia. Listing of Maricopa Community College Libraries This must be enough I suppose: for the book Frogs Into Princes there are 30,300 Google hits. For Connirae Andreas herself there are currently 27,600 hits. She's busy for quite some years. Davin7 14:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• All her three books are listed in the "Recommended Self-Help Books", section Self-Help/Personal Growth (General) of the University of Florida - Counselling Center. Furthermore I found her book at listings of the American Pacific University
• "Connirae Andreas is clearly in the mainstream of NLP and has increasingly established a reputation for taking NLP techniques", review of Bob Janes on Andreas' Book 'Core Transformation'.
• "Books she has authored have been translated into 14 languages", coretranformation.org In how many languages should one publish to be Wikiworthwhile? Davin7 18:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
