Non-notable abbot. ~  JohnnyMrNinja  04:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-notable. And: Kyogen Carlson is to Zen what VanWinkle is to Gangsta Rap. Miami33139 (talk) 04:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sources don't establish notability. I suggest you bundle Gyokuko Carlson into this AfD.  Graymornings (talk) 06:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: Influential North American religious figure. A google book search turns up 17 citations ; I have added a few of these to the article.  Multiple, non-trivial reliable source coverage now clearly meets the General notability guideline of WP:N.  Seeing that another editor has expressed concerns about Gyokuko Carlson, I will now add a couple of sources to that article so that it will meet the general notability guideline and no AfD on it will be necessary.

 * Delete. Those Google Books hits all seem to be books by the subject, passing mentions, short quotations from him or citations to his books. The 5 Google News archive hits are similarly uninformative about the subject. We need more substantial coverage to demonstrate notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
