Ajahn Thaniya[edit]

A (former) senior nun in an English monastery. No independent sources provided. User:Santutthijill says she ceased to be a nun a year ago (see reverted edit to the article, and message on my talk page), but there is no way to source this. I believe that notability was never adequately established, and there are inadequate reliable sources to sustain the article gadfium 05:14, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete--I see no notability either, and really, there is no assertion of it. Drmies (talk) 05:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- If you would like to confirm this, you can email her old monastery: | Chithurst and ask. But since Saranaloka supports these nuns and we list all of the senior nuns at Saranaloka Ajahns you can see that she is not there! It is hard to prove something that is not there.... but she was on this page prior to disrobing. (Sorry, I don't do this much.) Santutthijill (talk) 06:47, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- This should be treated in the same way as an article on the pastor of a NN church. I suspect the article on her monastery ought to be nominated for AFD, but Buddhist institutions are rare in UK (like Buddhists). Neither this article, nor that on her monastery indicate that it is more than the equivalent of a church of (say) 100 or 500 people, whose articles we regularly delete.
