No significant coverage in reliable sources, and thus fails WP:BASIC. As Cullen328 pointed out in a deletion discussion for this article a decade ago, the subject is a "non-notable crank". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 23:24, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Keep - Please see the Authority control databases at the bottom of her article. In additional to international sources relating to her, there is also: the Library of Congress link brings up 22 resources (1931-2014), WorldCat has "481 Results" (likely duplicates therein) I think she's notable.

The article just needs a more citations and improvement flag at top from WP:CLEANUPTAG. Just because no editor swiftly stepped forward to improve the article is no reason to delete it. Wikipedia:Deletion policy says: If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page. The above list of potential sources appears on the article's talk page for any editor to use to improve the article. 5Q5| ✉ 12:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/media/dolores-cannon-10471/ | "Dolores Cannon directed the Ozark Mountain UFO Conference from 2013 until her death in 2014. She is shown here in 2013." | Consisting of two sentences and an image, this clearly does not meet SIGCOV. |
https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7894e/past-life-regression-therapy-mind-zoom | "I reached out to Teja Priyadarshini, a certified past life regression therapy practitioner from India, who uses a technique called Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy developed by Dolores Cannon, a self-proclaimed hypnotist, past life regressionist and… UFO investigator." | Consisting of half a sentence clearly dismissing D. Cannon as WP:FRINGE, this is clearly not in-depth, significant coverage. |
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/books/review/tracy-k-smith-interview.html | "Dolores Cannon, who refined a method of regressive hypnotherapy by which subjects felt able to encounter their own past lives, has been an enormous consolation and inspiration to me during times of anxiety and 21st-century world-fear." | One sentence from the poet Tracy K. Smith on what she likes to read in her spare time. SIGCOV? No. |
https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2023-08-25/what-is-quantum-healing/80827 | Now, there are various ways in which to practice quantum healing. One of these is the hypnosis technique, created in the 1968 by author and hypnotist Dolores Cannon. “QHHT© achieves the deepest level of hypnosis possible, the Somnambulistic level of trance,” according to the official QHHT© (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) website. “By creating a safe and effective method that bypasses the chatter of the conscious mind and focuses on obtaining unlimited information in the somnambulistic state, Dolores Cannon discovered that time travel is possible at any time or place to relive anyone’s past lives.” Cannon also claims that this technique allows for access to our unconscious minds, what she calls The Subconscious, or The SC, which is “that greater part of ourselves that is always connected to The Source, or God, and has unlimited knowledge and an unlimited ability to heal the physical body.” Dolores Cannon passed away in 2014, seemingly not having used the aforementioned unlimited ability to heal the physical body on herself, but you can still learn the basics of what she made up for just $997. | Two paragraphs, most of which is quotes to ridicule a technique the author explicitly states is made up, not SIGCOV of Cannon. |
https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/cheryl-been-meditating-reading-aliens-24354598 | "And she also said that the one book that "changed her life" is New Earth by Dolores Cannon. Dolores Cannon is a UFO investigator, hypnotist and past-life regressionist who believes alien spirits have been sent to Earth to help humanity ascend to the 'New Earth'." | Two sentences (not SIGCOV) from an interview with Cheryl (singer) on what she does in her spare time, published in a marginally reliable newspaper specializing in tabloid journalism. |
https://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/news/local-news/conference-puts-focus-on-hypnosis-alternative-healing | He will offer a group regression workshop based on the work of Dolores Cannon, an American hypnotherapist and psychic researcher . | Half a sentence, not SIGCOV. |
https://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/meet-the-woman-behind-the-popular-awakening-starseeds-series-radhaa-nilia | Another author whose books influenced me is Dolores Cannon. Her book, The Three Waves of Volunteers and New Earth. I highly recommend both of these timeless books. | Three sentences from an interview with Radhaa Nilia, a self-proclaimed "visionary leader, expert in the Sacred Feminine and Archetypes, Goddess Activator, Publishing Priestess, etc. Not reliable or SIGCOV. |
Is about an American author that has written 17 books.
Is about an American hypnotherapist. a profession that in many American states does not required licensing for its practice.
Is about one of the most well know past life regression therapist in the 20th century.
I also consider that the other 3 articles about Dolores Cannon in the Dutch Wikipedia, Russian Wikipedia and Chinese Wikipedia should be preserved. -- Zchemic ( talk) 20:01, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
Pd. This is the 3rd times the article is trying to be deleted for the same reason... What? Is this keep going to continue until the 97th time when nobody knows that the article is obsessively being trying to be deleted again?
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. It would be easy (but incorrect) to delete this article because the subject's views are fringe. But what matters is does she meet
WP:AUTHOR with
WP:SIGCOV and after reading all of the comments, that is still not clear to me. I would caution those who are "supporters" that launching into conspiracy theories does not help your argument to Keep this article, what matters is notability by Wikipedia standards which is demonstrated by independent, secondary sources. At any given time, there are hundreds of these AFD discussions occurring so this is not a matter of singling out this particular article. Presenting cogent arguments for the outcome you are seeking and discussing them is the way decisions are made on this project.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,
