[edit] Dhammakaya

Was listed for speedy on the grounds of being advertising, but that's not a speedy criterion. I'm not convinced it is advertising; maybe this is a notable religious movement. No vote from me. Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 20:16, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I think Dhammakaya itself is notable but this seems to be advertising for a specific subset of the movement. Dlyons493 Talk 20:28, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete For one thing, the article has copyright problems; it seems to be a copy of this page. I do think that this organization might ultimately be worthy of an article, but the information provided on the current article is way too far from NPOV to be salvagable- we'd be left with nothing but a few names. I createed a new stub from information on the Foundation's website at Dhammakaya Foundation that should serve until more specific, non-POV info can be located. 'Dhammakaya' is the Pali equivalent of the Sanskrit 'dharmakaya'- something quite specific in Buddhist philosophy, and not really related to this particular organization. --Clay Collier 20:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Actually, it was listed as an A1 because of a lack of context, and if I had been thinking, it would have been A3, as well. (I was the one who listed it for speedy deletion.) Since I tagged it, though, context has been added, so it's no longer speediable.
  In any case, this article isn't a useful start for an article about the organization, as it's hopelessly POV and possibly copyvio. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 00:39, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
