replies: text: Does only 35 million sold make it "one of the best selling books of all time"? It's barely even in the top 40, marked as #36 in the list cited above, and would also fall around that range on most of the other "all time best selling" lists that are out there. Where does one draw the line before hyperbole and fan-ism kick in? The bible and quran aren't listed on that list either, and I'm pretty sure that they'd be on the first list driving that book even further down the list.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BobM NH (talk • contribs) 19:12, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Best Selling Book

message: TMT, the article you reference says that it is safe to assume Dyer was popular and effective and that there were some letters from people who were disturbed in the way I described --- there is no indication of something widespread. Pgc512 00:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: PBS

message: It is misleading to single out "New Thought" as THE label for Dyer's message.  I can't recall him mentioning "New Thought" in any of the books, audio tapes, videos that I have seen.  More often he mentions Christ, Buddha, Sai Baba, St. Francis, etc.  So we could use many labels to describe his perspective.  Better not to single one out.  What do others think?

thread_title: New Thought Movement

message: First you you removed the whole list, I think a list of similar writers is handy for those looking  for other spiritual text. Do you know what New Thought is, he has mentioned other spritual writers who belong to the movement and not. Iyanla Vanzant is one. There is a philosophcial connection between these writers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JGG59 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I see you or someone has added a bunch of these people to the "See Also" section.  Personally I think it is silly looking.  The relevant ones could be linked from the article itself.  Some already are.  Any other thoughts? Pgc512 21:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: See Also

message: He happened to be on the public station yesterday and I heard him make a joke "I'm a prophet, I get paid by the thought"
It was probably nothing, but that's a rather charged word and that's all I've seen of him saying it. I'm just wondering if there's any place where he's explained this term of application or claim of 'prophethood.' Peter Deer (talk) 01:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Claims as a prophet 

message: I have a copy of every book dr dyer ever wrote (not including  'gifts from eykis", I think his 'beliefs' have changed drastically over the course of huis work (most notably with the power of intention and his work on the tao 'change your thoughts change your life')
to say dr. dyer has 'spiritual beliefs' might be alot more accurate but youd have to make the ASSUMPTION (assumptions arent good for encyclopedias) that his most recent work reflects his beliefs, maybe more appropriate would be a summary of the message he is giving in a book by book format?
also the personal life shouldnt just mention his current home and family, when I get time I'll check some of his older works but I believe it would be useful to mention that he lived in an orphanage for a period (although referencing his own words in regard to that might not be the best citation) , also his visit to his fathers grave had a notable influence on al of his writings.

message: In, or around, July of 2009, Wayne Dyer stated on his radio show "Excuses Begone" that he had "some things going on in his body." He did not elaborate on it at that time. However, later, during Dr. Dyer's program on Hay House Radio, a caller referenced the aforementioned comment. This time, Dyer provided some details behind his health situation.  Dyer stated that he has "Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia" (CLL) which he says is "not life threatening" for him. Dr. Dyer stated that he is "totally confident and at peace with it." He went on to say that he will be spending some time at The Chopra Center, operated by his longtime friend, Dr. Deepak Chopra.-- — Keithbob • Talk •  18:51, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Reception is a bit one-sided/bias
by supplying one against reception it makes it appear there exists no positive receptions, which causes an necessary bias in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.47.122.227 (talk) 13:20, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Sir, I am at a lost to suppose the reason and remedy for your 'revert'. I believe the source references of Sun Sentinel are reliable. Perhaps the wording is not right? Can an edit correct this? Thank you
In November 1991 Dyer was involved with soliciting a female for prostitution, a misdemeanor as a patron of an escort service busted by Florida state officials.http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1991-11-23/news/9102180266_1_escort-service-additional-charges-lewis He subsequently pleaded no contest to inducing and enticing a lewd act in May 1992 and paid $5,000.http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1992-06-23/news/9202150947_1_prostitution-ring-lewd-act-plea

text: That's the only explanation you need. If someone tells you something needs consensus, then you start a discussion on the article talk page, not one complaining about its removal, but justifying why it needs to be in the article. If others agree it goes in. If they don't it doesn't. There is absolutely no need to leave a message in either my or anyone else's talk page. Most Wikipedia editors have more interests than just making sure one person looks as bad as possible unlike you, . Please don't leave any further messages here. John from Idegon (talk) 14:19, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  The content you were adding, given Dyer's overall nature as demonstrated currently in the article, is an exceptional claim and likely pretty sensitive for his surviving family. For a biography of living persons article (even though Dyer has been deceased for two years), this will require multiple, independent, high-quality sources. Even coverage in these sources doesn't guarantee inclusion, as again, this is quite sensitive material and irregular when compared to his notability as a motivational speaker or author. I don't speak for other editors, but I'm against the addition unless this material, with additional sources notwithstanding, can be demonstrated to have had a significant impact on his career or family.

text: Dude got arrested for a misdomeaner, was not even found guilty. No way this belongs, even with much better sourcing. If the guy was still alive, the original post would have been redacted too. There is no reason to ever include trivial negative info on a talk page. John from Idegon (talk) 21:32, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

text: Factuality does not guarantee inclusion. To me your arguments are not compelling. A misdomeaner, reported only locally, is not significant enough to include. John from Idegon (talk) 15:53, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
