Zendo USA is a genuine and compassionate charitable organization. They offer martial arts, meditation and opportunities to achieve enlightenment for people from any and all walks of life. They are giving and are listed as a charitable 501C3 organization. I am happy to see them listed here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alykash4 (talk • contribs) 03:04, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Seems to be a new organization with a lot to offer. Why don't we give them a chance to bloom and make a lasting contribution to the community? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.45.98 (talk) 18:37, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Because Wikipedia is based on established notability, not what might happen in the future. You might want to look at WP:CRYSTAL. Astudent0 (talk) 15:13, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete No indication of notability and many of the references are not independent sources. Some don't even mention "Zendo USA". Astudent0 (talk) 15:13, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:CLUB. If the article is kept, be advised there are parts of the article copied from the organization's website resulting in WP:Copyright Problems.  --TreyGeek (talk) 15:18, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly fails WP:CLUB. No indication of notability and lacks significant reliable sources. Papaursa (talk) 00:11, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
