  • Tentative keep based upon this Google Books search. I'm going to have to do some more work, but I think this is one that's probably worth saving. LadyofShalott 05:24, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I had a look at LadyofShalott's Google Books results and wasn't particularly satisfied. Here's a list of the books listed in the Google Books search result and a little analysis of the issues:
    • Blazing Splendor: The Memoirs of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (ISBN 9789627341568 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum) – no mention of Polu Khenpo Dorje
    • Wellsprings of the Great Perfection: The Lives and Insights of the Early Masters (ISBN 9789627341574) – as far as I can tell, there's a mention on page 421 in endnote 6. If the endnote is accurate, this is one reasonably reliable source...
    • Mipam on Buddha-Nature: The Ground of the Nyingma Tradition (ISBN 9780791475218) – this looks like a fine source, but says nothing about Polu Khenpo Dorje.
    • Three books by Peter Dickinson, which are fictionalized retellings of religious stories (see City of Gold (book) for the sort of genre) which obviously aren't reliable sources for biographical information.
    Given the issue in question is notability, we've basically got a mention in one book and some web sources that aren't particularly reliable (a blogspot and a wiki). Without some more sources, this doesn't meet WP:GNG. —Tom Morris (talk) 18:54, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
