Deletion of Rolfing

Comment: We are not judging here whether it is a valid and effective method for therapy. All we should be doing is noting the many |reliable sources which have substantial coverage of it as a notable organization or process. Google News Archive shows 2,440 articles in which the term appears. Out of this total, there are certainly huindreds which meet any reasonable definition of "substantial coverage in reliable and independent sources," including the Los Angeles Times (1990) http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/60042356.html?dids=60042356:60042356&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Apr+26%2C+1990&author=DAN+LOGAN&pub=Los+Angeles+Times+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=HEALTH+%26+FITNESS+ATTAINING+THE+BODY+BEAUTIFUL+Rolfing+Seen+as+Body+Balancing+Act&pqatl=google and (1991) http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/60999809.html?dids=60999809:60999809&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Jul+25%2C+1991&author=Aurora+Mackey&pub=Los+Angeles+Times+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=ROLFING+Pain+for+Gain+The+somewhat+brutal+body+realignment+technique+can+feel+good-especially+when+it's+over.&pqatl=google , the Philadelphia Inquirer (1993)http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=PI&s_site=philly&p_multi=PI&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB2A57E9FF84CA6&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM ,and other mainstream newspapers http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=RO&p_theme=ro&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EAEA629CDDCE2A1&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM , http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=AASB&p_theme=aasb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EA2135BD6B3C4E0&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM , http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SLTB&p_theme=sltb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=1068378FEBBDE1C6&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM , http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MWSB&p_theme=mwsb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB82830EB1CD64A&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM , http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-111153404.html. There is no requirement that they be included presently in the article. Clean up if it has a promotional tone, but certainly do not delete

Comment: Well-known technique, meets otability requirements.  That said, I personally think it's pseudoscience, but it is nonetheless notable

Comment: unless one of you folks who say there are so many verifiable sources ''actually add some''. While Rolfing is very much real, not a neologism or a hoax - that doesn't matter at all; we're not here to come to a consensus about the subject material, but rather about the article, and it fails  as it stands right now. If there are reliable sources out there....why not add some? Without that, deletion is the only answer

Comment: is an established form of physical therapy, I have found several articles on it through Google News (such as http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2008/may/07/no-headline---07bsec/, their are books mentioning it and not to mention millions of google hits, definitely meets |notability criteria. &nbsp

Comment: 819 Google Books hits, including several dozen books entirely about Rolfing.  How is that not notable?  I'd say that any topic that has had that many books written about it is otable

Comment: The fact google finds a trillion hits does not establish there are . They could be merely from promotional sites, see mucoid plaque for comparison. Also, the fact we can find books that cover the subject does not mean those books comply with . Finally, if we search the medical literature through PubMed we find scant, if any discussion of this "therapy."http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&orig_db=pubmed&term=Rolfing&cmd=&cmd_current
