The article is written in a self-promotional tone and appears more like a resumé than a reference article. Sources for this article are of unknown quality, since they are not completed bibliographic entries and do not contain URLs. They seem non-notable and non-reliable. Thus, article fails WP:GNG and WP:BLP. Delta13C (talk) 02:32, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. Even as incomplete references lacking the title and publication date of the source content, it's still evident that six of the eight "sources" are to local community weekly newspapers which are not widely distributed (or widely archived) enough to satisfy WP:GNG, while the other two are to her own books and thus get clobbered as primary sources. While the overall tone isn't as blatantly advertorial as I would have expected in something like this, it still pretty obviously tilts in a PR/advertorial direction — there's just too damn much entirely unsourced "personal life" detail of the type that, given the paucity of actual WP:RS coverage, could only be collated by knowing, or at least directly interviewing, the subject personally. Strictly speaking, the fact that there aren't convenience URLs present in the references isn't relevant, because we are allowed to cite stuff to print-only content like old newspaper articles or books, but the fact that they're local community weekly newspapers (as well as incomplete references that are still missing necessary details) does weaken them.

- Delete. Regrettably, sources for this post-modern nutritionist are not sufficient. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:30, 14 December 2015 (UTC).
- Delete per Xxanthippe. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 03:43, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per Bearcat -- I'm not bothered that there are not online citations; I'm bothered that even in her self-promotional Emily Isaacson Institute website and her many blogs on so many subjects she hasn't found better citations. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 05:52, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
