The result was no consensus. This closure as no consensus is in reference to deletion, but there is plenty of agreement that the article needs a major (or even complete) overhaul. bibliomaniac 1 5 01:27, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
[Hide this box] New to Articles for deletion (AfD)? Read these primers!
Random sample of sources cannot find anything supporting notability, but it's impossible to be sure in this unsalvageable mess of self-published / self-authored sources (the most frequent source is his own website, and most of the other sources appear to be crank letters to the editor authored by the subject and so on), COI, and promotionalism. If nothing else then WP:TNT applies. Anyone supporting keeping will need to point explicitly at appropriate sources. E Eng 14:47, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
The sources used on here are for the most part national and regional newspapers or national magazines. As the subject is an author there are many references to these books, which are all legitimately published and have been in the marketplace for decades. The previous proposal for deletion was rightly denied. It is very obvious that this page is being targeted because of the author's views as the deletions followed his video regarding the corona virus. This is simply redundant in comparison to this account of a notable author's life and work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.7.91.66 ( talk) 14:54, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
There are so many libels in here that it is difficult to count them. You cannot call a qualified doctor a quack unless you are willing to defend a libel action. In addition to self publishing Coleman has written books published by a dozen major UK publishers, over 30 foreign publishers, large print publishers and audio publishers. It isnt difficult to see evidence of over 100 books in 25 languages. The page as most recently edited is prejudiced, biased and inaccurate. Why not mention why Coleman left The People (because a column criticising the Iraq war was rejected). Is it not of significance that the government changed its policy on tranquilliser prescribing because of Coleman. (See Hansard). Coleman was the author of the first software for computers. See Times article. The ASA is a private organisation which refused to look at evidence linking meat and cancer and then tried to ban an ad for the book. The ad was then published (full page) by The Observer and The Guardian. Coleman has been widely praised by almost all UK national papers. See his website. Coleman has presented programmes on BBC and ITV. He was the first TV agony uncle and the TV AM doctor. The Youtube video title has a wuestion mark at the end. Have any of these critics actually watched it? Why no mention of Colemans speech to UKIP. (I see that Guy believes that Brexit was swung by Putin. And he calls Coleman a crank! Also Guy works for a company making mobile phones. Coleman has been a stern critic of mobile phones. A clear conflict of interest. EMJ Books has been an imprint run by Coleman since the 1990s. Colemans books are still being published by 'proper' publishers around the world. Coleman who is in his 70s took his name off the register. It is no longer possible for retired doctors to have a licence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23wqr ( talk • contribs) 00:55, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Further investigation shows that Guy, who says he works for Dell, appears to be proudly left wing so there are conflicts of interest 1. Coleman was the first doctor to draw attention to the danger of mobile phones - causing brain cancer cf Superbody 2. Coleman wrote a number of pro Brexit books Coleman is known to be litigious in defending his reputation and much of this material is indefensible in court. Coleman has written that he does not want a Wikipedia page and I recommend deletion of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23wqr ( talk • contribs) 03:22, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
I checked and found most of Colemans self published books are in print and in public libraries. All authors ebooks on Amazon are, if in kdp, given away to readers and authors receive a royalty payment from Amazon. Colemans books have been very well reviewed around the world but particularly in the UK - I remember reviews were on this site but were removed for no sensible reason by someone with their own agenda. And my apologies for a silly slip - The Times reported that Coleman co wrote the first medical software for home computers - obviously not all software. That too was removed by someone who simply wanted to make Coleman look bad for their own reasons. It seems that this page is now controlled by one or two 'editors' who have turned the page into a vindictive blog because they disapprove of Colemans views on Brexit, mobile phones, vaccination, meat eating or whatever. This page is now a disgrace and nothing to do with an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23wqr ( talk • contribs) 02:19, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Now that the coronavirus has been officially downgraded by the UK government (cf government site) perhaps one of the critics would like to put a note on the Coleman page congratulating the Dr on yet again being the only dr to get it right on his website and that much criticised YouTube video! He was right about Aids, Sars and all the big issues for 30 years. This page now just looks silly and the moaners who are proven wrong should offer their apologies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23wqr ( talk • contribs) 00:41, 26 March 2020 (UTC) See gov.uk status of covid 19 for confirmation — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23wqr ( talk • contribs) 00:50, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
You go to gov.uk Which is the main uk govt site You search for High Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCID) Its a bit hidden but its there You will see that the Public Health Bodies in the UK and the Advisory Committee onDangerous Pathogens decided on 19th march to downgrade the coronavirus The govt put this on gov.uk and four days after the decision put the country into lockdown and today are introducing new legislation giving them great powers Why do you have to be rude? An apology would be nice but I doubt I will get one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23wqr ( talk • contribs) 14:19, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
You might like to look at the govts 358 page emergency bill brought in today - especially at the section about vaccination, exactly as Coleman predicted on his website and video But all this Wikip page includes is decades old junk about trivial ASA rulings (its a private body by the way and its rulings are less significant than parking tickets) I bet the guy has had some parking tickets - you could put those up instead of bothering to mention a brave and now proven accurate prediction no one else had the guts to make — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23wqr ( talk • contribs) 15:14, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
