Rigdzin Namkha Gyatso Rinpoche

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I do not think this Buddhist teacher meets WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or WP:RELPEOPLE. I have carried out WP:BEFORE and added a reference. I have seen some other coverage of him at the European Academy on Religion and Society and News in France, but I'm not sure that either are WP:RS, and in any case neither is more than a mention. I also found mentions in two books, here and here, but again this does not look like significant coverage. Tacyarg (talk) 22:24, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete: It looks like he's commonly named as "[Terton] Namkha Rinpoche" - not to be confused with "Namkha [Drimed] Rinpoche". He's probably at least marginally notable, and there may well be Tibetan/Nepali/Indian language sources, but determining which (if any) of the more in-depth English-language sources are sufficiently reliable is beyond me, and the better sourced fr-wiki article does not really establish that GNG is met; the potential negative BLP issues appear to remain inconclusive. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 08:32, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
