Searching "Chuan Zhi", "Shì Chuán Zhi" "釋傳智" "释传智" gives no results wrt coverage at all. Eyeofchan.org is the primary source for this article and it's also not reliable, independent coverage. Praxidicae (talk) 14:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - no indication of notability. -Zanhe (talk) 16:16, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Same reason as my PROD – fails WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR with only one book with two minor reviews. — MarkH21talk 10:06, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you.
 * His book (removed since it was controversial to have it on the page) has only recently been published. It may become a significant book in time, but for now it does not seem that way. But I used the Kirkus review as a citation for the person of Chuan Zhi
 * I agree searching Searching "Chuan Zhi", "Shì Chuán Zhi" "釋傳智" "释传智" gives few other results, but since this is a lineage someone I have met knows someone who has met Chuan Zhi in person. All three of us are in discussion on email. There is little use sending you the emails: the email addresses are 'gmail type' accounts. Not verifiable.
 * I'm pretty sure I've added this citation: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nostri-imago/2854539040/ since this discussion began. It isn't much, but it is something.

In fact the Internet Archive has an archive of that Flickr page from 2017, so I've used that: https://web.archive.org/web/20170711165723/https://www.flickr.com/photos/nostri-imago/2854539040/

 * Having a flickr page archived or not is completely irrelevant and does not lend itself to notability. And emails can't be used to source anything. Praxidicae (talk) 16:11, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Oppose or merge: Request to address, improve, resolve the following pages in this order Jy Ding > Chuan zhi > Koro Kaisan Miles > Michael Pockley as the way one is resolved may affect the next.Brofitable (talk) 17:19, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete – article subject doesn't appear to meet GNG or any SNG. – Levivich 17:31, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Now that I understand how dharma names are given in this lineage, and have access to the relevant tonsure poem, I was able to conduct a better web search here, for Jy Ding, and for Hsu Yun Temple. Several new citations added to each. Zenothing (talk) 11:49, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
