  • Hook: Interesting, short enough. Fact not supported by source.
Article: Long enough, new enough. Referencing is up to par for DYK purposes. Neutrality is in question; what is meant by "a world famous founder"?
Neutrality answered in the reference "Thich Nhat Hanh is the second most famous Buddhist, after the Dalai Lama, in Nordvik-Carr...". Sorry I don't understand why you need more than that? If it really bothers you, then please just delete it. I thought it was significant. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Paraphrasing needs work.
Summary: Please clean up the paraphrasing and find a reference that explicitly says that the Buddhist Temple of San Diego is the oldest in the area. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:50, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Source (Japanese American Citizens League) added. Sorry my fault for not including this earlier. Thanks for catching it. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:32, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Paraphrasing looks fine methinks. Hook fact has been cited; however, the website may not be an impartial third party. Are there any better references? Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:35, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Yes, here are three: Harvard's Pluralism project and if you're lucky, Google Books will let you see this photo a parade through downtown San Diego from Japanese Americans in San Diego by Susan Hasegawa and the Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego. Also UCLA but their date is wrong. Also I found Military.com and the San Diego Union Tribune (but I'd question the source of these last two). -SusanLesch (talk) 01:56, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Here's a book which has been swapped into the article. -SusanLesch (talk) 02:24, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Cite 4 looks like a tour guide; not the most reliable of sources. Harvard doesn't say that it was the oldest; it just confirms the date. UCLA has the first bit, but as you said the date is wrong, and it looks like an ad. Anything more reliable? Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:13, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Yes it is a tour guide, Amazon's first choice, and in its sixth edition. I think while I keep looking that you could ask Buddhist Churches of America, which is the temple's diocese in the U.S. You could ask them why you reject every source imaginable. :-) -SusanLesch (talk) 17:53, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Uncle! Other than the temple itself I find only Click on the photo: "In 1926, San Diego County's first Buddhist church began in rented space in the upper floor of a building downtown. This structure one-and-a-half miles to the east was dedicated in 1931 and is still in active use at 2929 Market Street". But this site is owned by the JCCCNC and Google says it "might be compromised". The Japanese American National Museum says anybody can post there so the Discover Nikkei site is also out. So either we go back to the Japanese American Citizens League link or else here is an ALT (which you are welcome to improve on):
Yes, that's really good. It needs only one small change (from San Diego to San Diego County) because his place is in a neighboring town. Thank you. -SusanLesch (talk) 02:55, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
ALT 4 is just great. Thank you very much, Crisco 1492. -SusanLesch (talk) 03:20, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
