Article has been tagged for improvement for years. It expounds a relationship theory outlined in a book. In effect it seems to be an advertisement for the book. I can't see any evidence the theory is widely practised or written about outside of the book. I can't see anything online to suggest it meets WP:GNG criteria.

Uncertain but possible keep - Google News found [http://www.jewishpress.com/sections/family/marriage-relationships/stressing-the-positives/2012/09/21/ this] The Jewish Press article and Google News archives found [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=Imago+Therapy&oq=Imago+Therapy&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j43i400.12508.12508.0.12794.1.1.0.0.0.0.46.46.1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1j2.5eXWjwIqKq8#q=Imago+Therapy&hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ei=QNJgUMHTBOPS2gXtwIHACw&ved=0CCIQpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=63b934b027e5525c&biw=1422&bih=706 several mentions] and multiple mentioning Harville Hendrix, suggesting that these articles are relevant. If the article is kept, the article would need to be rewritten especially the POV sections. Unfortunately, nearly of all of them (aside from two press releases and one iffy reliable source) are payment required so I wouldn't know how detailed the articles are. The Google News archives results continue at the second page. Google Books also found [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=Imago+Therapy&oq=Imago+Therapy&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j43i400.12508.12508.0.12794.1.1.0.0.0.0.46.46.1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1j2.5eXWjwIqKq8#q=Imago+Therapy&hl=en&gl=us&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbm=bks&source=og&sa=N&tab=np&ei=nNNgUKiwM6qm2gWawIGIDQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=e1775dc59757cae6&biw=1422&bih=706 several mentions].

:* Well I have to say I agree with you. Maybe someone with access to these sources can add some citations. To be honest, many of the Google links are to listings/adverts/anouncements from counsellors and others are brief mentions. But there are strong indications Imago Therapy is widely practised, not just something in a single book. I'll consider withdrawing this nom when I've had a closer look.

Keep - I found references going back to 1986. There's plenty of others. I added references to the article and deleted the unsupported details. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 07:12, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
