But there's only so much vetting of 2-reader-a-day articles that people are willing to spend time on. I'm not. It is what it is. My work here is done, carry on! 497:
is a brief remembrance. Maybe there's more. I'm OK with "Jeff Mayo was a person, here's his vital stats, he founded and ran such-and-so important school, and wrote some important books, and here's a list of them." That's useful data. You don't have to agree and that's fine too.

On the other hand, the Mayo School has existed for a half-century now and seems to be a real place with real teachers and real classes and so forth, I guess. I would image that (astrology not being a hot high-demand field I suppose) it must be one of the larger schools in the

It's too short to be a very good article. There doesn't seem much to say about Mr Mayo. The article is really just a stand in for the school, which had an article which was deleted. I don't know if there's ref'd material out there to expand the article -- quite possibly
330:
The page views is running two a day, which is quite low. On the other hand, why do we need to tell even these two people "Oh, read about Jeff Mayo or the Mayo School and want to found out what he/it is, did you? Well go pound sand cos we're tired of telling

So he's not running these off on a mimeograph in his mom's basement, and maybe he's a real expert in this (old and famous and historically important, if now rather niche and outré) field. It looks like that one book is a (scholarly?) analysis of

puts it, the question is "Does it make Knowledge better or not? If yes, keep the article". It says here people searching on the string "jeff mayo" will be better served by this page than getting a "page does not exist" message. Prove me wrong.
338:
other hand, Google has not really heard of this guy or this school. "'Jeff Mayo' -wikipedia" is all about a veterinarian in Washington State and a school official in Tennessee. So he doesn't appear to be capable of meeting

Yeah, it is inconsistent with GNG. That's certainly a serious issue, yes. GNG is s guideline, and it's an important one I've referenced often. It's an important guideline but still guideline, and

can't decide, not without more research. But, the article is obviously going to be deleted, simply by the more or less autonomic functioning of the Knowledge nervous system -- "Does not meet

for the school, the man himself does not seem very notable, and since he's been dead for twenty years it seems unlikely that he will do anything to become notable in the future.
292: 180: 586:. Newspapers.com has a few trivial mentions of "Jeff Mayo Astrology", but I found no reviews of his work or articles about him. Searching Google for the same found no 351: 323:
And FWIW the school may have been a promotional article, which means this one would be too. With commercial entities that always something to consider, at the margins.

at this point, it's been a week and nobody seems to care about it either way, so the default would be "no change" and anyway the article is not

No evidence of any notability. Unsourced since 2006 and searches only reveal the usual social media sites and book sellers, nothing more. Fails

I don't have a strong opinion. It's certainly marginal at best and the loss of the article would cost us little. So let's see...
