Exponent of Parapsychology (e.g. ESP). Sourced to CV on Parapsychology organization. Coverage in BEFORE not much more. Does not seem to meet WP:PROF, and is mostly published in the Journal of Parapsychology. Icewhiz (talk) 10:04, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:PROF and WP:FRINGE. Note to avoid confusion: there is a psychologist named John Palmer at the University of Washington who is a different person [1]. XOR'easter (talk) 18:38, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The John Palmer at UW got his PhD at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; the John Palmer at Rhine got his from UT Austin. XOR'easter (talk) 19:24, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete As I cannot tell if there is one or two Dr John PALMER's (at least) or just the one. So I am having real difficulty finding any notability |(or maybe finding a lot).Slatersteven (talk) 18:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are at least 3 John Palmers who are psychologists. Maybe more. John Palmer, psychologist who is co-author of a highly cited study with Elizabeth Loftus has scads more notability, as does John Palmer, psychologist who runs a religious group. Sorry, this particular John Palmer (para)psychologist does not pass WP:GNG. - LuckyLouie (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. A position in or award from a crackpot fringe body does not confer notability. The only publication I can trace to this person is this, cited 31 times, and that's not enough for WP:PROF. Apart from the other John Palmers mentioned above, there is also at least one notable John A. Palmer. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:00, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a classic example of why Wikipedia has guidelines for significant coverage of fringe figures. Palmer is fringe and clearly lacks significant coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:50, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
