If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

The article

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see

If you think there are problems with the Mediumship article, then these may be helpful references. Use them as clarifications of the applicable Wiki rules.

• Wikipedia: Arbitration - Paranormal
• Wikipedia: Arbitration - Pseudoscience

The Paranormal report has a clarification for what they call "framing":

"Adequate framing "6.2) Language in the introduction of an article may serve to frame the subject thus defining the epistemological status. Examples include "mythical", "fictional", "a belief", and in the present case "paranormal", "psychic", "new age", "occult", "channeling", or "parapsychological researcher". "UFO", "Bigfoot", "Yeti", "alien abduction", and "crop circle" serve the same function. It should not be necessary in the case of an adequately framed article to add more, for example to describe Jeane Dixon as a psychic who appeared on TV says it all. "Purported psychic" or "self-described psychic" adds nothing."

If you have background understanding, you will recognize that the Criticism section is only being used to vilify mediumship. I do not have time to look for good references, but there are legitimate arguments against the paranormality of mediumship that should be there. The Super-psi hypothesis is the most prominent. Others include delusion, cold reading and psychic functioning (which is Super-psi again).

You might be able to appease the Skeptics if the article is written in terms of "mediumship is defined as" rather than "mediumship is." Just remember that what Spiritualists and others think mediumship is to some large extent faith-based. There are good studies supporting its paranormality, but I frankly know of none that successfully argue the Survival Hypothesis. At least no reference that would be admissible in Wikipedia.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Michelle Pfeiffer may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michelle Pfeiffer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Original Sin (film). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
