A not-notable combination of astrology and numerology to predict the stock market. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 21:23, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
I am also nominating the following article as it is on a very similar subject, by the same author, and has similar sources:
- Delete. Non-notable promotional trivia. Xxanthippe ( talk) 23:13, 26 February 2018 (UTC).
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Paranormal-related deletion discussions. The Mighty Glen ( talk) 23:18, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Finance-related deletion discussions. The Mighty Glen ( talk) 23:18, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Spirituality-related deletion discussions. The Mighty Glen ( talk) 23:18, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
- I used the chart to calculate if the article would be deleted and the result was not favorable. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 21:08, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Has received notable coverage. 80.111.42.187 ( talk) 16:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - from the looks of the references, seems notable. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 01:56, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete: Setting aside the current content of the article (just a bunch of charts and tables), the sources I'm seeing are neither independent nor reliable. I don't see how this meets the general notability guideline, let alone the fringe one (relevant since we're talking about astrology and all). It could be redirected to William Delbert Gann#The Square of Nine and the Hexagon Chart. - 165.234.252.11 ( talk) 17:52, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- And the same for the Hexagon Chart. - 165.234.252.11 ( talk) 18:16, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Mentioned in plenty of books so I would say it meets WP:NFRINGE. May need to be edited to comply with WP:FRINGE . Derek Andrews ( talk) 23:25, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- A link to a google search isn't useful. Just for fun, I looked at the first two results when I do that search (I hope everybody realizes that different people may get different results from the same search). The first was, The Book of Yantras, published by lulu.com. The second was, The Square Spiral: The Mathematics of Markets, published by BookPal. Both lulu and BookPal are vanity presses. The accept anything and print it for a fee. Such a publication is worth zero towards establishing WP:N (or pretty much anything else). I didn't check further down the list, but I expect more of the same. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:27, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete -- per WP:TNT and WP:NFRINGE. In the current form, the article promotes the fringe theory in question, and I don't see anyone rewriting this page. If there's a notable topic here somewhere (of which I'm not convinced), then a neutral editor would create a page some time down the road. There's no rush to get to such a state, however.

- Delete This has poor sources and the topic is not really notable. Any big names using or reporting using this stuff? Also, the fact that windows Excel instructions are in the article, it looks like WP:OR. Huitzilopochtli1990 ( talk) 19:57, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as some combination of WP:NOTHOWTO, WP:OR, and WP:FRINGE. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:18, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
