Talk:Methods of neuro-linguistic programming
I'm looking for the list of Sleight of Mouth patterns that used to be one here. It was a really useful reference and I've been coming back to this page for years to use it, but it's no longer here. Where might I find it? 98.237.252.162 (talk) 20:20, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm still looking for the Sleight of Mouth patterns that were here before someone deleted them. Please add them back in. It was highly useful information. Now it just says "There were 14 sleight of mouth patterns and then 14 more were developed." Well, at least a list of these 28 Sleight of Mouth patterns would be helpful! 73.53.49.12 (talk) 17:43, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
Advocacy point of view
This describes what it is and claims, but appears to be written from an advocacy point of view - particularly the intro, which states NLP's claims as if they are facts. This is problematic given that not only is NLP documented to be a pseudoscience, but is one of the standard examples of a truly egregious pseudoscience (per the main article) - so an in-universe style will mislead the reader - David Gerard (talk) 22:36, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

- I can help. I have rewritten the lead of the Representational_systems article to make it more objective. AnotherPseudonym (talk) 13:32, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Richard Bandler has said that NLP is more art than science. The quality of the results depends therefore not on "scientific studies" but on the skills and talents of those persons using the methods presented, much like an artist creating an image - photographer? charcoal? pen & ink? oil on canvas? All can create something amazing, if their skill level is high enough, and a hot mess if it isn't.
