(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Every statement in this article is sourced to unreliable sources. Rather than just have a blank article, it should just be deleted. St Anselm (talk) 10:47, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep How are these unreliable sources?

Daily Express - Third in the list

Times Internet - Number 3

Reader's Digest 1992 article "Life Beyond Death" page 59- Snippet view is not clear.

It was mentioned outside England in 1966 in illustrated weekly of India.

If Youtube videos can be shown, FTD news, verified youtube channel. X-Men XtremE 11:46, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of England-related deletion discussions. Everymorning (talk) 11:48, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Clearly a non-notable WP:FRINGE topic. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 12:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Check the above sources again.

Delete Sources in the article are terrible pop-culture mystery-mongering books. Googling doesn't find too many better sources or evidence of notability. As an example of the bad sourcing, near the end a scientific journal is mentioned but then the sentence is sourced to The Express - where's a link to the actual journal article? Also Ian Stevenson's coverage of this case could be a source, where's that? Needs some criticism of the case to adhere to WP:FRINGE as well. Either majorly clean this up, or WP:TNT. --Krelnik (talk) 13:19, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Possibly speedy under G7. Author has deleted this, and other articles they created and were nominated for deletion. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:16, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't delete, I was frustrated. X-Men XtremE 14:31, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
