 * Speedy keep in light of 's recent deletion crusade. "possible original research"? I don't even know what that means in connection with an author who obviously exists. Google books Google Web Google Scholar Google News &mdash; goethean &#2384; 14:54, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as it currently stands. 's energy is to be commended, not derided. This article fails to provide reliable independent sources to document its notability. If such sources turn up, I can be convinced otherwise. Ray Yang (talk) 22:11, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If such sources turn up, I can be convinced otherwise.
 * Gee, I guess it would kill you to click on the links I provided. &mdash; goethean &#2384; 22:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It might not. Clicking through reveals a lot of stuff by the guy himself, and almost nothing of any length from reliable sources. The onus is on the article's defenders to provide reliable independent sources. Links to Google searches don't qualify. Ray Yang (talk) 22:41, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep As accidentally explained in the Afd for this author's Diamond Approach, there are at least 117 gbook hits for him, not authored by him. One of them is this, which has a chapter devoted to him - a short bio and a selection.  The book is devoted to 30-odd Mystics, Masters, Saints, and Sages throughout the ages, including Buddha, Hui Neng, Saint Catherine of Siena, the Baal Shem Tov and a handful of moderns like Krishnamurti and this AfD subject.John Z (talk) 01:29, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply That is one source. Do you have a second? Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 12:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for reasons already given.--Chinawhitecotton (talk) 03:52, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable author. refs in google scholar (please scroll past the first 30 or so refs by the author himself) Jayen 466 15:20, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Author's article meets quidelines, his personal "Approach" has its own article, so obviously he's notable. -- Meldshal  (§peak to me)  02:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
