Katsube Keigaku

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reason: Delete per WP:BIO and WP:ACADEMIC. The page cites no sources whatsoever. Most references to Katsube Keigaku I've found searching the Internet have simply been obvious copy-pastes of this article. The only independent sources I've found discussing Katsube Keigaku explain his role as the teacher of Soen Nakagawa. While Soen Nakagawa is notable, teaching him isn't enough to merit one's own Wikipedia page. And I can't find any independent evidence of significant contributions by Katsube Keigaku to Zen Buddhism or Rinzai that would merit keeping under WP:BIO or WP:ACADEMIC.

 * Delete. I also found nothing except article mirrors and trivial mentions in sources discussing Soen Nakagawa. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:33, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
