Campbell

[edit]

I've removed Campbell because it says at the top that it's a list of those gnenerally considered influential. He's notable, but is he influential?

Text removed is below. Adam Cuerden talk 23:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not so much. Agree. Abridged talk 00:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

recent changes by anon

[edit]

Regarding the recent changes by anon edit summary history here I think that they are ok. I don't know much about Hubbard and Stearns, to tell the truth, but the others are certainly influential. I will add a sentence on each of them as we have been doing in the article. Anon, if you come back, you should join the Wikipedia:WikiProject Homeopathy and help out.

Removed

[edit]

I've removed a few - influential isn't quite the same as notable, and, while earlier notable homeopaths can be presumed to have had large influence, I'm not sure that most modern homeopaths by default can be presumed influential just because they may be notable or have written standard texts. I may have blundered on a few: Vithoulkas is clearly notable and famous, but did he actually develop techniques and methods that are different and new, or is he a strong populariser?

Adam, I restored all of them except for Shah. The names I restored are all modern highly influential homeopaths. I'm not sure you know the field enough to pass judgement on this. Abridged talk 22:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you must get rid of a few, morrison and murphy would probably be the ones to remove. But why not discuss on the talk page first? Abridged talk 23:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Self-promo and advertising

[edit]

How can this be reduced? This list needs some strict inclusion criteria. They must be notable enough for qualification for a Wikipedia article of their own, or have extremely good secondary and tertiary (not primary) sources that prove their notability. Without an article or such sources, they should be removed. The alternative is to AfD this list. -- Fyslee / talk 01:30, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As of Nov 2017, the every name on the list has a separate Wikipedia article. Did not check those to see if any are candidates for AfD. David notMD (talk) 21:47, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
