Hey there, I was the one contacting you about the photograph by email. Your picture is going to be deleted unless you license it under a free license. If you need help licensing it, let me know. Also, make sure you reference that biography you are working on, as it to will be deleted should you ever take it out of your user space. Try to gather as many newspaper articles you can that have been done on him or even mentioned him, and I can help you provide them as sources if you need help formatting them. Basically, if you need assistance do not hesitate to ask. (Mind meal (talk) 05:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC))


 * Hi again. I sent a follow up email after requesting the photograph that stated the mention of Wu Bong was a mistake, or at least i meant to. I send out a lot of photograph requests and sometimes do a bit of copy and pasting. I'm sorry for the confusion. Actually, there was no article I was going to immediately place the photograph in. Rather, I would have added it to: Category:Zen teachers located at the Wikipedia sister-site, Wikimedia Commons. That way, should an article ever be created, the photo would be ready for use by editors. Most of the pictures found in that category I have acquired for the encyclopedia, some by email contact. To the point about Kyozan Joshu Sasaki, the article could face deletion though it would likely be defeated. That is because a quick search by editors would yield hundreds of reliable third party sources to verify his notability for inclusion in the encyclopedia. In that event, it is likely an editor would seek to improve the article with referencing or tag it as needing references. In the case of Enshin, he does not have the same level of coverage by third party media and would very likely face deletion without meticulous referencing. Some articles can be nominated for deletion within moments of creation, and some can sit for months or years before someone realizes the individual fails notability guidelines. I'll be working on Joshu's article at some point in the future and provide many references when I do. Again, if you need any help, please contact me. Also, consider creating a User:Jon.zen.ca/sandbox to work on the article at. You can then add the sandbox link to your user page, for fast access. (Mind meal (talk) 00:03, 21 March 2008 (UTC))
