The article Jeffrey Long has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Sources are very far from demonstrating notability, being either to self (Long's own site nderf.org), or of the type "the man/the book exists" (Amazon, German Random House, etc), or an utterly unreliable-looking site called skeptiko.com.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello there! In response to your question on april 5: You already have a few reliable news-sources in there (Newsweek, New York Times), but in order to save the article you probably have to step it up a notch and find peer-reviewed academic sources. PubMed offers a suggestion, but (unfortunately) no abstract available. Long is also a contributor to the Handbook of Near-death Experiences published by Praeger, and Greyson and Longs reply was published in a high-profile academic journal (Neurology) in 2006. But...these are primary sources (published by by the author in question). You need to find secondary sources (preferably review articles) that reflect both support and criticism of his position. This is a bit more tricky, but I would suggest that you move the reference section more in the direction of academic, peer-reviewed, articles. PubMed is a good starting point, but you also have Psycnet. Good luck!--Hawol (talk) 10:54, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Secondary sources (in the form of review articles) on Long's research are not that many. I'll see what I can find.--Hawol (talk) 09:52, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Secondary (review) sources: The Journal of Near-Death Studies is often a natural starting point for locating review articles on Near-death researchers but I will not consider this publication here, because I find it to be too close to the subject to be considered a secondary source. However, a few promising sources show up, but I haven't read them closely, so I will not make any specific endorsements as to their suitability. The first one is from the journal Humanities,an international, scholarly, open access journal. I interpret this one to be sceptical of Long's position. Then you have the The Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, not a mainstream journal, but provides a sceptical review. There are a few others also, but the full text is not available for regular, non-academic, users. However, to balance this out you probably need a few sources that are more neutral, or even supportive, of Longs position. Publishers Weekly and The New York review of Books provide non-academic reviews, but are very short on Long.--Hawol (talk) 17:40, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Afterlife, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Fenwick. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Ghost (1990 film), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 20:47, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
