[edit] Heruka Buddhist Centre

Vanity article for a Buddhist Centre in London. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 18:51, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Delete Can't really see a claim to notability, and while it does seem to be a vanity page I'm not sure if it might have some local significance (which I wouldn't know not being from london.) Fallsend 19:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Provides a coverage of Buddhism within the London category. CalJW 10:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I just cleaned the article up a little bit (fixing the Wikilinks and the like). The NKT movement is quite notable among Western Buddhists. This particular center seems to be fairly popular (their website claims that they have ~20 resident students, which is fairly high for organizations of this sort), is located in a major urban area, has been around for 15 years, serves a number of locations throughout London, a number of travel sites have profiled them as a destination for visitors to London interested in Buddhism or meditation, etc. --Clay Collier 12:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with New_Kadampa_Tradition. A popular centre may indeed merit a mention and even a section; this one is not significant enough to carry its own article. KillerChihuahua 14:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• keep please it is a good article now Yuckfoo 01:05, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as a verifiable and apparently significant religious centre. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 11:44, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak merge - only just over 500 Google hits, suggesting that this centre isn't actually all that significant outside its local area. But I wouldn't object to a keep, or to expanding this into a broader article on "Buddhism in London", or anything of that sort; to avoid bias, the bar for inclusion should naturally be set a bit lower for minority religions like Buddhism. — Haeleth Talk 13:19, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
