(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.

Vincent Gaddis mentioned the case in his book The curious world of twins in 1972.

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]
- @Krelnik: I stumbled on Ian Stevenson's coverage of this case from a Google Scholar search: pp71–3 of Children Who Remember Previous Lives" (in Chapter 4 "Fourteen Typical Cases of Children Who...") Qwfp (talk) 15:50, 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]

Delete Per lack of reliable sources. HealthyGirl (talk) 17:45, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
