Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patter drill
The present sourcing is most odd indeed. The first source cited states that a Scientologist "repeatedly challenged the validity of a "patter drill" in which he was instructed to read passages of a course to a wall. Smith insisted the drill was not based on Hubbard teachings." Our article turns this into: "Patter drills are a drilling method used in courses in the Church of Scientology which were added to many Church courses in mid-1996, by David Miscavige as part of the Golden Age of Tech development. In order to perform patter drills, students are instructed to read sections of course material to a wall." How de wo know this? It's just not in the source. The source describes an occurrence where "a patter drill" (i.e. one particular occurrence of an otherwise undefined practice) involved someone reading something to a wall. It's quite a leap of confidence to go from there to describing patter drills in the way the article does. The section on the "History of patter drills" is entirely unsourced. "Church reaction to objector" is not about patter drills at all. To sum up, there is at present no source that establishes the notability of "patter drills" or, indeed, explains what they are, when they are applied, to whom they are applied, and what forms they can take. I am willing to change my opinion if someone finds a otability#General notability guideline|reliable source addressing this topic in detail
