Parish has no scientific credentials, but she co-authored a 2021 book attempting to legitimize fringe beliefs and conspiracy theories about infectious diseases like Lyme disease, bartonella, and COVID. But unlike conspiracy theorists like [[Judy Mikovits]], her beliefs claiming that autoimmune diseases and many other conditions are related to [[chronic Lyme disease]] never received "significant coverage" from reliable sources for notability. Accordingly, I think it is a good idea to delete this article. [[User:ScienceFlyer|ScienceFlyer]] ([[User talk:ScienceFlyer|talk]]) 16:30, 29 August 2022 (UTC) |

:The recommendation to delete this page is clearly a personal attack and has no merit. Dana Parish is an author signed to Harper Collins and a songwriter signed to Sony Music. There are more than enough references on her page to support her legitimacy. It should be noted that the same person suggesting deletion is trying to delete her husband's Wikipedia page as well (also with no legitimate reason since his page is also well referenced and he has worked on many high profile projects with acclaimed recording artists and filmmakers), all the more evidence that these are personal attacks and harassment.

I just reverted an edit that had a lot of unsourced puffery about singer/songwriter Dana Parish. This caused me to review the article and edit history. The article is filled with dubious puffery. Also, the article is sourced mostly from Parish herself or from her own PR-associates, with the exception of an NY Post article.
There is no evidence of "significant coverage" required for notability. It's possible that many of the edits (along with edits of Parish's husband Andrew Hollander) are by someone close to the subject. The talk page warns about 2015 concerns about conflicts of interest, and the creator of this article also edited Hollander's page.
Parish has no scientific credentials, but she co-authored a 2021 book attempting to legitimize fringe beliefs and conspiracy theories about infectious diseases like Lyme disease, bartonella, and COVID. But unlike conspiracy theorists like Judy Mikovits, her beliefs claiming that autoimmune diseases and many other conditions are related to chronic Lyme disease never received "significant coverage" from reliable sources for notability. Accordingly, I think it is a good idea to delete this article. ScienceFlyer (talk) 16:30, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

- This reasoning feels like personal bias against this musical artist and author. What in the article is untrue? What specifically is incorrect? More proof than malicious personal attacks are needed to support the deletion of this article. DubiousPuffery (talk) 19:41, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I found a 2020 book review from Kirkus Reviews and a 2008 CBS News article that follows her appearance on The Early Show and includes some biographical information and career highlights. The WP:NYPOST is not helpful for supporting notability, but per WP:MUSICBIO, the Billboard charting may help support this article (I have not been able to verify all of the chart-related claims in the article).
