• Not notable. Delete. While I still remain very very iffy about this, Talk:Gary Craig is indicating that there's a bit more actual scientific investigation of this method than there usually is of one-man health breakthroughs. -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:35, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC) I am changing my vote to a Keep, though I think heavy Cleanup and NPOVing is needed; this article treats it (or its parent therapy, TFT) as pseudoscience, but describes it as a highly prominent pseudo/quasi-science. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:09, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Well EFT isn't just a "one-man" thing, though it might really be a breakthrough. As I said in Talk:Gary Craig there are a dozen approaches in the field of so called "energy psychology". emotional freedom technique is just the most popular of those techniques as Craig tied together some crucial knots in his treatment.

• Do Not Delete* I don't think one should take delete votes from people who clearly don't know anything about this. There are dozens upon dozens of books by many different authors at amazon on EFT, 100,000 websites and it deserves a mention.starfields -- Note: this is User:81.153.66.29's only edit.
  • Amazon actually returns 11 hits; Google returns around 37,000. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:39, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Delete If it's a form of acupressure, or chinese medicine, it should be discussed there in a chapter explaining how it is a branch derived from either acupressure or chinese medicine, but not as a separate article. —ExplorerCDT 17:22, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Well, it uses the same philosophy of meridians, but blends with modern psychotherapy. I'm not sure, wether it would fit in acupressure.

• Do not delete: It is interesting to notice how people already know everything instead of being curious and learn something that could change their live. You want rather be right or rich? The Emotional Freedom Techniques are absolutely worth to be studied. I am working with that Technique since three years and there are remarkable results. I see! the results day by day. To say 'it is an ad' means to miss an opportunity for healing. Try before judging it. In times of breaking down health systems, pressure because of being unemployed and having no money,in times of terror, war and trauma we really can't afford to simply 'delete' something that doesn't fit in believe-systems. The word has to be spreaded. Sorry, if I made any spelling or grammar mistakes: English is not my mother-tongue.

  • I'm afraid you're still misunderstanding Wikipedia's goals by arguing in this fashion. (This is why we mark votes that come from people with very few edits, by the way, because they are so likely to misunderstand Wikipedia's purpose and which articles we try to keep and why.) You are arguing that EFT is so wonderful that it deserves to be notable. But we are not here to bestow notability on the deserving. That is simply not the purpose that we are here for. We are here to compile information on that which is already notable. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:55, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Do not delete* - Emotional Freedom Techniques is very useful and many people have benefited. The emofree.com web site gets MANY hits every day so there is much demand for information. -- Note: This is User:Mjnelson99's only edit.
