Venerable Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject of this article is a living person who is the lama at a Kagyu Buddhist centre in France. Lama Tharchin Rinpoche (not to be confused with the famous and recently-deceased Nyingma and Rimé ngakpa and Dzogchen master Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, who is mentioned in many sources) - is not a notable figure and this page has remained an orphan since its creation. I nominated it for Speedy but there is one link to a French website that mentions his name (repeated twice), so it was declined. I did look for other sources and found a single passing mention in another person's biography that the Kagyu Lama in question had sent him to a Kagyu school for education. In short, the page seems hagiographical, cannot be confirmed with reliable sources, and is the equivalent of listing a local pastor on Wikipedia. I welcome your input, as the page's author did not reply - they appear not to be active on Wikipedia aside from this page and one on phowa: Ogress smash! 20:55, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
