Hsu Yun Temple

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

For something that claims to be the first Buddhist hall in Hawaii, there is a remarkable lack of sources. I searched all three name variations and found no independent coverage, including newspaper archives. Praxidicae (talk) 19:48, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete My search didn't find nothing independent coverage. Idolmm (talk) 14:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't really find anything either, except passing mentions in an obituary in Taiwan News, this book, this Star-Bulletin obituary, and Worldatlas.com. There's also this detailed mention in a travel article. Overall not enough independent reliable source coverage for WP:GNG or WP:NBUILD though. — MarkH21talk 10:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. In addition to what Pontificalibus said, one source I found suggested that the construction of the Hsu Yun Temple was a result of the contemporaneous political upheaval in China and became part of the post-Mao era transition for Xuyun Dharma, which favored the creation of national and transnational networks.

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 Chuan zhi. Several new citations added to each. Zenothing (talk) 11:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting to allow others more time to respond to the sources brought forward late in the discussion.
