The removal of the speedy remove tag was accidental. This religious organization is notable. It has existed for 33 years making it one of the longest lasting community of its type.

Other intentional communities such as Twin oaks and Acorn community are listed in Wikipedia.

It is the largest cult with a self-created religion in the United States. Because of the nature of the organization, the best existing citation is the website : http://zendik.org/ I have also added the following web sites as citations: Please let me know if there is more information needed to prove the significance of this organization.

 * Keep. One of the most notable groups of its kind.  I read a big feature article on them a few months ago; I think it was in the New York Times, but I'm not a subscriber so I can't be sure.  --Allen 01:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
