Great, go ahead and source the article with those. Yworo (talk) 22:07, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, not all of those are reliable sources:

Not independent, affiliated with subject "It was then that I met my teacher Adyashanti".
This is an advert in Tricycle, not an article.
Awake Publishing appears to be affiliated with the subject. See their website.
This appears to be a valid source, though it's an interview.
This source also looks good.
AuthorHouse is a self-publishing service, not a reliable source.
This source looks good.
This source also looks good.
Publisher is self-publisher eBookIt.com, not a reliable source.

Looks like not nine, but four usable sources: 4, 5, 7 & 8. Yworo (talk) 22:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My vote is the same. I also found this interview. I won't add the sources to the article because I am personally not interested in the subject and they shouldn't be all external links. I can try to save the article from deletion though. SL93 (talk) 22:27, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another interview in Tricycle. SL93 (talk) 22:32, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The criterion for deletion is not currently having no source for notability , but there being no such sources. Anyone, including the nom, can add the ones they admit are good sources to the article. DGG ( talk ) 18:52, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per DGG. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 01:35, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
