[edit] Buddhism in Texas

Interesting article, but reads like spam and doesn't seem encyclopedic. --AllyUnion (talk) 09:08, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. - it can be worked on --Philo 09:33, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete So can painting trees, doesn't mean it should be done. Dottore So 10:35, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but expand and clean up.Logophile 11:14, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless anyone can convince me that this should not be part of a more general discussion of Buddhism in America. It's a very limited scope at present and much less useful than a wider-scoped article would be. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 11:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: A separate discussion for a minority religion in a given state? That sort of granularity strands the information and disrupts the context considerably. At best this should be part of a Religion in Texas, but that should be part of Texas#Culture. What I read in this article looks like advertising, on the one hand, or proselytizing, on the other. For POV issues, as well as lack of definition of the topic, I don't agree at all with keeping, though we should be happy to have the author contribute to one of the larger articles with appropriate content in context.

• Delete, per Geogre. This is the slippery slope down to such forking as Mormonism in South Carolina, Sikhism in Alaska, SubGenii in Michigan, & Discordianism in Rhode Island.--Isotope23 18:53, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Seems just too place-specific; and also looks a little like ad. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 20:06, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Looks like an advert. *drew 01:29, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
  • And I was so looking forward to the article on Rastafarianism in Reno. Denni☯ 05:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
    • LOL, or Pastafarianism in Pennsylvania?--Isotope23 18:27, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per above arguments. Too limited geographical scope. Punkmorten 15:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Geogre. Xoloz 14:44, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete too specific. Carina22 21:31, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
