I don't think that assists are notable enough for a stand-alone article. I couldn't find any in-depth secondary and independant sources. I have read several books about Scientology, and assists are only ever briefly mentioned as a form of spirtual healing/grounding technique and that Scientology advocated its usage after 9/11. I think that information regarding assists could be included as part of an article about Scientology beliefs/practices like other religions (ex. Beliefs and practices of Jehovah's Witnesses), although an article like that for Scientology does not yet exist. Clovermoss (talk) 19:13, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clovermoss, a couple of points, it might be worth nominating the similar article at Touch assist as well. There is a potential merger target at Scientology beliefs and practices. TSventon (talk) 04:03, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
TSventon Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it, especially the wikilink. I must have had a typo or something when I tried to search for it. I'm not sure if merging would really be useful in this case because the article as it is is really promotional. I do think that a sentence or two about assists could eventually be included in the Scientology beliefs and practices article. Clovermoss (talk) 13:35, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
