The Batesmethod article represents bates orignal book of 1920 and not the Bates method of NVI today. The introduction shows it by mentioning bates controversial accomodation theory, overexpose vision to sunlight, even Martin Gardner statement etc, 
The link http://brain.berkeley.edu/pub/1952%20April%20Flashes%20of%20Clear%20Vision.pdf) ( 1952 !!! ) makes it also very clear this article is about the old Batesmethod is not about the current Batesmethod of Natural vision improvement.
Another argument Natural vision improvement was directed directly to the Bates method article. Dom't you think the public will be more interested in the Batesmethod of today.

message: Jéské, you are avoiding the subject of this discussion. It is true there is no consensus in my opinion in the Bates method article. But this discussion is about whether or not the Bates method of W.H. Bates is equal to  the Bates method of NVI 
The Bates method of NVI is also mentioned in another book. The title Restoring your eyesight by Doug Marsh. See also the yoga article. Here you will find a lot of different kind of yoga. I will repeat again the Bates method of W.H. Bates is not equal to the batesmethod of NVI described by T. Quackenbush. Look for example at breathing.Do a search in Bates book. You will breath mentioned 3 times !! In the book describing the Batesmethod of NVI you will find a complete chapter about breathing. Page 191. I hope I am making it clearer. Just compare the table of contents and you will see. Simply look at the facts. Seeyou (talk) 22:21, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But does it need another article, especially another article created by someone who has a beef with the running consensus on the original article?  Think about it, Seeyou. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 22:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Method of Bates vs NVI's (moved from main)

message: PSWG1920,
We are editors not creators. The name is based on dominant literature of today. I have not found Modern Natural Vision Improvement movement or Janet Goodrich method anywhere. Have you ?
I still have not read any valid solid argument for deletion. Can anyone give me just one ?

replies: text: A Google search for "Janet Goodrich method" turns up 264 hits, including a site by that title apparently now run by her daughter.  And remember, Goodrich trained Tom Quackenbush. PSWG1920 (talk) 17:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
