Welcome!

Agreed decisions (style, approach, etc)

  1. Articles which would fall under this project should have the template {{NLPproject}} added to their page at the top, letting readers know that there is a project and possibly style or content standards concerning that page.
  2. Pages that contain mixed NLP and non-NLP uses need consideration as to whether the subject matter warrants creating a separate NAME (NLP) article, if this might be helpful. (It won't always be appropriate, discuss here if unsure)

Articles involved and current status

A list of pages tagged as being part of the {{NLPproject}} can be found here

Quick ideas: the following would probably be considered examples of tools which were either developed within, or built into the core of, classic NLP. It's not necessarily complete yet. The categorization is mine, for convenience:

Definitions and principles
Models
Working methods and tools


Theoretical constructs, definitions, background and other

Articles needing special attention or with major controversy

Do you want to include the developers in this Project. Or limit it to the concepts and theory only? --Comaze 10:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The draft list of "original developers" is useful, but no, thats biography not NLP. Its a useful list so I'm putting it here for when we need it: Richard Bandler ... John Grinder ... Judith Delozier ... Robert Dilts ... Leslie Cameron-Bandler ... Stephen Gilligan ... Steve Andreas ... Connirae Andreas ... Christina Hall ... Frank Prucelik
Standardise citations.
  1. I want to use standardised notation and citations throughout the entire project. The same style as in Structure of Magic Volume 1. --Comaze 10:30, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    They should probably be heavily cited, more than usual, in view of the controvery surrounding the subject. Whilst I don't think there is such controversy over individual concepts or methods, it is clear some editors would wish for full formal citations, we should respect that, IMO.

Categories

I have removed Template:NLPproject from pages which are *not* NLP pages, such as the map-territory article. We can look at those in a while. Meantime it would be presumptuous to be appearing to "claim" them for NLP. FT2 15:39, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Logical Levels in NLP

So that we can include all definitions of logical levels, and chunking, and the controversy that surrounds them; I want to rename the Neurological levels article to:

template

Please don't add the template to articles, rather add it to the talk pages. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:NLPproject to see which articles need it moving onto talk pages. thanks Martin 16:42, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Removed to talk pages. User:Comaze note :)
Also, no need (yet) to create blank pages without content -- not really wikipedia policy is it to allow those??? Or at least add a few lines from a source text and a {{stub}} tag FT2 17:59, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Noted. :) --Comaze 23:01, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Issues needing urgent attention

I think the following issues are in need of urgent attention:

  1. The article Persuasion uses of NLP needs some good and sourced items, to a high standard. See the political section for what I mean. Ideally examples that clearly show it is not by chance, and taken seriously, and evaluated as effective, otherwise they will indeed be poor examples of its use. I also want to add a section on cult-like uses, for neutrality, which I haven't got round to yet, we could grab that off the main article.
  2. Can we check out psychological, psychiatric, counselling and clinical professional bodies, for indications of their views on NLP. Examples might be whether they refer to NLP therapists on their website, whether they will refer clients to NLP therapists or have them as members, whether they host themselves talks on it, and so on. A list of credible bodies and what could be found, would be fine.
  3. Ditto (secondarily) for clinical acceptance (or otherwise) of Ericksonian hypnotherapy (because it's NLP-derived).

There's a reason I'm hoping to tackle these first.
