Kyogen Carlson[edit]

Non-notable abbot. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 04:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable. And: Kyogen Carlson is to Zen what VanWinkle is to Gangsta Rap. Miami33139 (talk) 04:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sources don't establish notability. I suggest you bundle Gyokuko Carlson into this AfD. Graymornings_(talk) 06:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep: Influential North American religious figure. A google book search turns up 17 citations [1]; I have added a few of these to the article. Multiple, non-trivial reliable source coverage now clearly meets the General notability guideline of WP:N. Seeing that another editor has expressed concerns about Gyokuko Carlson, I will now add a couple of sources to that article so that it will meet the general notability guideline and no AfD on it will be necessary.

Delete. Those Google Books hits all seem to be books by the subject, passing mentions, short quotations from him or citations to his books. The 5 Google News archive hits are similarly uninformative about the subject. We need more substantial coverage to demonstrate notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
