I'm hesitant to AfD this, but the article is, simply put, borderline gibberish and utterly riddled with peacock terms. There's much talk, but virtually no real content whatsoever with regards to the actual "technique" itself, and would seem to require a complete rewrite to make any form of encyclopedic sense. Someone on the talk page summed it up perfectly around 8-9 months ago:
Came looking for a definition of Alexander Technique. Read the whole article. Could not find any precise, specific, clear definition with details of the technique's methodology, principles and explanation of core concepts. The article seems written by some member of a sect, really. If there is any logic to it, it is only self-sustaining logic, i.e. a system composed of interlinked concepts, with no function other than to defend itself. Here's a example from the article:
"Global concepts such as "Psycho-physical Unity" and "Use" describe how thinking strategies and attention work together during preparation for action. They connote the general sequence of how intention joins together with execution to directly affect the perception of events and the outcome of intended results."
And ? How are those concepts used in applying Alexander Technique ? What is their influence on it ? How is the technique actually *used* ? Either Alexander Technique is an obvious sham, either the presented concepts in the article are of such abstraction that the article is utterly useless for anyone but a practitioner of the technique. Either way, the article needs a complete rewrite. 206.248.191.158 (talk) 22:33, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Retract nomination Since one editor with some clue as to what the article is trying to say has actually bothered to offer to improve the article, I'm retracting this nomination and would appreciate it if someone closed the AfD. Thanks. Delta Trine Συζήτηση 18:38, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
