Eskimo Buddhism

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:Neologism; only sources are blogs; one academic source is completely unrelated; no significant hits from Google search. Author of article is currently blocked for one week, but I will invite him to comment on his talk page and transclude it here. Singularity42 (talk) 20:40, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment previously transcluded from User talk:Jemesouviens32.
 * Now removed, as changed user talk page is breaking the archived version of the AfD. Please re-add the transclusion if you have enough wikifu to point it at the correct version. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:48, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - no reasonable references other than blogs, as nom points out, and generally appears to have been made-up, with nobody covering it seriously. Fails notability. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:48, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - per above. No reliable sources - no article in Wikipedia. Broccoli (talk) 20:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - in order to make sure this AfD is completely fair, the author has on numerous occasions pointed to this article as a reliable source. I have rejected it due to it being completely irrelevant. It's on a completely different topic (i.e. the cultural and religious origin of Tamils), and only has one useful throwaway line: "If the Bodhisathva was born into a European culture nearly 2600 years ago he would not have attained Buddhahood. Can anyone imagine an "Eskimo" Buddha?" Therefore, I do not think it counts a reliable source for this article's subject. Singularity42 (talk) 21:04, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per above. This is a hoax. Bluehotel (talk) 21:53, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The cited sources do not meet Wikipedia's reliable source guidelines, and I was not able to find any reliable sources with my own search to confirm that this religion exists or is notable. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Hoax. Joe Chill (talk) 22:32, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Kudos to the author: Quite an effort...creating a blog, a twitter account and multiple WP entries...creative...I lol'd...yet: a hoax Andi 3ö (talk) 23:59, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can imagine indigenous North American buddhists. I can't imagine a unique set of buddhist practices being as difficult to document as this.  Not reliably documented, no evidence of notability. Fifelfoo (talk) 00:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
