The result was   keep. No prejudice against renominating after a little while, due to the low participation in this AfD. ‑Scottywong | talk _ 16:24, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

The Template Network

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No sources, not notable, promotional article on a new religious movement (possibly a cult). Jarvis Sherbourne (talk) 17:58, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable. It doesn't have footnotes, but it has sources cited that establish notability: see the article section The Template Network; Spying in Guruland by William Shaw has multiple references to Armin.  Searching Google Books gives additional references to Raymond Armin, e.g. Islands of the dawn: the story of alternative spirituality in New Zealand by Robert S. Ellwood (U of Hawaii Press), Alternative religions: a sociological introduction by Stephen Hunt (Ashgate).  The article needs a rewrite to remove promo stuff and incorporate criticism. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:36, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable. Agree with --Colapeninsula. Article lacks an account of the history of the movement, the criticism that it has attracted, and a more neutral account of basic beliefs. It was all there, but has been deleted, supposedly by supporters. Sources are difficult to give though, as most of Raymond Armin's writings are unpublished. --Pwesth (talk) 16:42, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
