 * Symbol voting keep.svg Date, length ok. Hook checks out (albeit the latter part is a bit interpretive as the sentence just before the ref says "This was his last meditation", but from context it is clear what the comment refers to). Good to go. --Soman (talk) 02:51, 10 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg This article includes some close paraphrasing – compare for example "defined mediation, first as of negative nature" versus "meditation should be of a negative nature" – and non-neutral phrasing, and is in significant need of copy-editing.

 * Symbol delete vote.svg Despite a ping on the nominator's page over a week ago, no action has been taken aside from a November 12 edit (by Nvvchar, not by Titodutta) that removed the "of negative nature" phrase and fixed a few grammatical issues, but did not effectively address the non-neutral phrasing request or the overall need for a significant copyedit. As this is about eight weeks old now, an extra week's grace seems more than generous. Closing nomination as unsuccessful. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:48, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
