- I've found one article so far that appears to be scholarly, and will post it on Neo-spiritualism's talk page. It may be for a neo-spiritualism different than the one we've got right now though ...

- Google Scholar gives 15 hits for the term as well but none of them gives reference to Ruhselman. How about the above reference. I think the explanation as it is now is totally uncredible. Probably the above reference and the others use it as a general term for some new age religions. I still vote for delete. -- þħɥʂıɕıʄʈʝɘɖı 06:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm neutral on this right now; will search for Ruhselman later today, hopefully before the article is deleted. I expect the 3 other folks who have weighed in here are correct in that this neo- is a generalized term. It is probably not a good precedent to have WP articles for neo-this-that-and-the-other-thing unless they are really well established terms, which this clearly is not at this time. Keesiewonder 12:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC) / After a bit of a search for Bedri Ruhselman, and not having found anything in several academic databases, I need to update my vote to delete.
