[edit] Bhante Kassapa

Bhante Kassapa (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Can't see what makes this monk notable. No references. Article says "He is the first non-Vietnamese monk in the Vietnamese Theravada Sangha in America" - is that really enough? Camillus (talk) 16:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comment He does get a few Google news hits [1], one of which says he is "believed to be the first white American senior monk in the Vietnamese Buddhist tradition". He might merit a mention somewhere, (Buddhism in the United States, maybe?) but he probably doesn't need his own article. Zagalejo^^^ 17:12, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
