This is clearly a WP:POVFORK of Dalai Lama, intended to "prove" the Chinese government line that, by definition, those Dalai Lama's not chosen by Beijing are illegitimate. Such a point, of course, is included in the main article, and is POV we should and do include, but having this as an article (under a POV title nonetheless) is clearly not acceptable.

Delete Biased, lacking any reliable sources, no indication of notability as a topic, seemingly original research, and duplicative of existing articles: those claims which are not untrue could if referenced be included in the articles Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama and articles on the individual lamas. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:11, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
delete Advocacy article for the PRC claims; the author has made similar, uncited claims to related articles. Mangoe (talk) 11:26, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - (I consider myself a neutral party on the broader conflict) - Right now there aren't enough items to convert this into a list article, and the claims made here are better made in the articles for Thubten Gyatso and the 6th Dalai Lama if he has an article. As it stands, this article is also clearly not neutrally written, although that in and of itself is not grounds for deletion. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:56, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as POV fork, per nom. RashersTierney (talk) 08:54, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete single sourced content already covered in Dalai Lama#History. Not a viable redirect. Funny ^Pika! 06:50, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- This is a Chinese POV article, and far too much of it is in Chinese to be a worthwhile article in English WP. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:01, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
