Clive Sherlock

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable Zen teacher. References are all self-publications, and I cannot find anything of significance in reliable sources. I am also nominating his special philosophy at a separate AfD here: Articles for deletion/Daily Life Practice.  Glenfarclas  ( talk ) 10:36, 24 December 2009 (UTC) Update: I should have mentioned a writeup in the Guardian (here) which does discuss Sherlock, but does not, I think, make him notable.  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Timotheus Canens (talk) 02:32, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems notable enough to me, and the sources look sufficient. Looie496 (talk) 14:45, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete One hit in 2004 is all I see, too, other than a spurious hit back in 1933. Hits for his supposed practice are also lacking. One would think that there would be at least one other real hit in the ensuing six years. Mangoe (talk) 14:52, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Keep The Guardian article is specific and substantial, and enough of an independent source to keep the article.   DGG ( talk ) 01:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep There is also an article in The Times newspaper by Anjana Ahuja: THE TIMES - London February 16 1999, "Train your mind to fight depression: You can liberate yourself by learning to live with your feelings",  which is more substantial and more detailed than the Guardian article. Another article appeared in the The Telegraph Magazine - feature article: Broken down by Clare Allan - 11 March 2006. --Lowheights (talk).
 * Merge and redirect to Daily Life Practice. The sources are much more about the therapy than about the person.  The biography references are not sufficiently independent for the biography, but are plenty good enough on the therapy.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, The Times article includes quotes from another doctor, a senior social worker and patients all of whom had firsthand knowledge of Clive Sherlock and the therapy times article, and Sherlock also has relevant chapters published in two books peer group reviewed: Book: Searching for New Contrasts edited by Riffert & Weber and Book: The Roar of Awakening edited by Derfer, Wang & Weber--Lowheights (talk) 10:27, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
