Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neuro-linguistic programming
AfDs for this article:
- Neuro-linguistic programming (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
This article (and the set of articles linked to it) should be deleted because
- It is promotional material for what is essentially a brand or product. NLP is not an academic subject, and there is no university that I know of that teaches NLP as a subject (there are institutions without academic charters that teach NLP for accreditation purposes, for a fee, but that does not make it an academic subject).
- The related pages, which attempt to pass off NLP as an academic subject, are devoid of any intellectual content whatsoever.
- The NLP article itself is now being used outside Wikipedia to promote NLP as a serious scientific subject, for financial gain.
I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reasons as above (i.e. blatant advertising of a commercial, pseudoscientific 'therapy').

- Comment I agree that the explosion of sub-pages related to aspects of NLP need to be curtailed as they attempt to pass off NLP as a scientific discipline, when in fact they are little more than abridgments of book chapters by NLP's creators and their followers. They are written as if the techniques and observations espoused are scientific facts, without any reference to articles in peer-reviewed journals to support those 'facts'. The sub-sections notwithstanding, I would support the existence of a single article on NLP, provided of course that it conformed to the usual expectations. Poltair (talk) 11:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
