Hi MrsSnoozyTurtle - could you elaborate on your notability and POV concerns? I don't think doing a backdoor deletion is the way forward here so I've moved the page back to article space. Sam Walton (talk) 09:57, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just visited here after matching one of Dr. K's YT videos. From what I've seen, here and elsewhere, I definitely agree with MrsSnoozyTurtle on the WP:NOTE issue. I don't see any evidence that the topic is notable, except perhaps his YouTube channel's subscriber count, but even that isn't particular mind blowing. I also agree it's failing WP:NPOV, although I might class it more as a WP:WEIGHT problem. It can be difficult to point to a full WP:NPOV fail in an article lacking notability, and that seems to be the issue at stake here. In addition to notability and weight/pov issues, the article is also suffering from several WP:RS issues, possibly (I'm never 100% sure which of the various overlapping types of source-fail options apply) including WP:BIASED, and WP:SELFSOURCE.

There is also a problem of tone. The article comes across a little resume-like, not very encyclopedic, and in some parts even sounds like someone trying to pre-emptively lay down some evidence to defend Dr. K. in the face of possibly being accused of providing therapy inappropriately. (NB: I am not suggesting that *is* why the information in question was written; and I am *absolutely* not suggesting that Dr. K. has ever offered therapy inappropriately. I'm talking about a problem in tone, not content.)

Overall, I'd say the article is not at all up to WP scratch, and since most of that is stemming from the lack of notability of the topic (it is an absolute fail of WP:NOTE as far as I'm concerned) I don't see it being repairable at this time. Given that, if MrsSnoozyTurtle's original request did actually come across as an attempted driveby deletion, my suspicion would be that she simply used the wrong coding by mistake. In my opinion it definitely qualifies for WP:PROD or even WP:SPEEDY, and under normal circumstances I'd just slap on one of those. However, given User:Samwalton9's perfectly reasonable request for clarification on MrsSnoozyTurtle's earlier request, I thought it better to attempt a response and then simply let the appropriate processes do their work. 47.156.0.35 (talk) 23:21, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you substantiate your comment with examples from the article? Which sources aren't good? Where are there weight or NPOV issues? In what world does this article qualify for any speedy deletion criteria? Sam Walton (talk) 23:46, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Usefulness of Dr. K's videos?

Something I really think about when reading this page: is there any information out there that can establish the usefulness and credibility of HealthyGamerGG?

Do Dr. K's videos help people? Has there been any research on this? Does Dr. K accurately represent psychology research when he talks about it in his videos? Is there any research or way of knowing how effective Dr. K's coaching program is? What is Dr. K's coaching program meant to accomplish, especially when contrasted with the goals of psychotherapy?

If there was a way to help find answers these questions while also following Wikipedia's standards and guidelines, I think that would be very helpful. AsceticInsights (talk) 12:22, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While the intentions are good, that seems like WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH to me. Meaning, not much we could do outside of other people doing the research and publishing it in a reliable 3rd party source. BriefEdits (talk) 05:28, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
