[edit] Holy Tantra Jin-Gang-Dhyana Buddhism
As far as I can tell, this page is promotion for a marginal esoteric Buddhist group. A lot of the information on this page is accurate, but not specific to this group; rather, it is describing Chinese tantric Buddhism in general. A google search for "Holy Tantra Jin-Gang-Dhyana Buddhism" turns up a couple official sites followed immediately by the Wikipedia article. This modern group might be an interesting subject for an article, but, unfortunately, the article as it exists gives us no context about them. Nat Krause(Talk!) 00:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

- Comment. No vote from me, but just a couple things to consider. A google search for "中國漢傳密宗". Which is shown as the chinese name for the subject of the article yield considerably more results. However, I could be searching "cute kittens" for all I know. Also, does notability in the chinese speaking world make it notable in the english speaking world? Just some thoughts.

- Good point. "中國漢傳密宗" translates literally as "Chinese Han tradition (or transmission) esoteric (or secret) sect". It would be a bit labour-intensive for me to take a close look at the google results, but it's worth noting that the top hit is a userpage on the Chinese Wikipedia, followed by two official pages of this group. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 17:31, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- In that case delete. Notability doesn't seem to exist here. Tombride 05:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, grudgingly, as per Nat's analysis. --He:ah? 19:36, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
