Buddhist Anti Cult Alliance

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article nominated by Siru108 with comment "Hoax?". This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is Neutral. Tevildo (talk) 20:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No references, no results on Google.  Very probably a hoax. Tevildo (talk) 20:29, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The user who is trying to get this deleted (Siru108) is a member of one of the organisations listed as cults by the BACA. He says on his user page he follows Ole Nydahl's Diamond Way group. It is therefore no surprise that he wants this article removed. His opinion is far from neutral.
 * BACA is supported in it's decisions on these 3 groups by the Non-Governmental Organisation INFORM.
 * See the controversies sections on both Ole Nydahl and Diamond Way.
 * See the 'Separation from contemporary Tibetan Buddhism' section on New Kadampa Tradition.
 * Search Google for Edward Penney.
 * I do beleive this article will be built upon in future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bandizzle (talk • contribs) 21:21, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Irrespective of the motivation of the original nominator, in order for the article to be kept you'll need to demonstrate that the organization (a) exists in the first place (WP:V) and (b) has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, references in reliable third-party sources (WP:N) - and provide that evidence in the article itself.  As things stand, you're not even over the first hurdle. Tevildo (talk) 21:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete The group, as described, does not seem to be very notable, or even very Buddhist. Steve Dufour (talk) 04:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
