In general, the version that was approved for GA looks like a fanpov, PROMO piece. The recent versions have the same problems.
There's heavy reliance on information directly from Tolle, and using Wikipedia's voice.
The timeline is not chronological.
It appears his major successes were due to Oprah Winfrey's recommendations, though this is difficult to see from the article content.
Some refs appear redundant and promotional.
Some refs are missing basic information (publication date, author, etc).
I've only glanced at the recent dispute, and so am not addressing it at all. -- Hipal ( talk) 23:33, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
Remove the "Dialogues With Emerging Spiritual Teachers" reference, or use it only to provide important details already on topics from better refs.
Remove the worse references.
Put more emphasis on the better and non-primary sources throughout.
Rewrite the "Inner transformation" section title. This is improper use of Wikipedia's voice.
I'm not sure if Oprah's multiple recommendations should be mentioned in the lede. Probably.
Christian scholars have differing opinions on the compatibility of Tolle's ideas with Christianity.
Remove, unless there's a summary from and independent source we could use. --
