[edit] Padmaloka_Buddhist_Retreat_Centre

Delete. This page is a commercial advertisement for a little known retreat. The copy is partially lifted from the Centre's website. The Centre is currently advertising its Wikipedia entry [1] S.N. Hillbrand 14:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Can we put a hold on the deletion process please. I have been updating the entries for this site and am responsible for their webmaster linking to the wiki page. The place is a place of Buddhist worship, and as such is listed under Buddhist temples on wikipedia, and many of the other temples have entries about them. Im new to this stuff (started in December 05), so can I ask for help with editing the page so that it doesnt get deleted - I genuninly want to create a page that is a resource. Thanks lotusskywalker
  • Comment: The deletion process lasts five days, and as things stand it'll get another five days due to lack of contributions. However, it will not be put on hold. If you want to expand it or clean it up, then do so. See User:Stifle/Delete unless cleaned up for why I don't vote keep until the cleanup is done. Stifle 21:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I created this page and have been working with the above user to help improve it. Please refer to the page Buddhist_Temples which lists other examples of Buddhist Temples with page listings such as Kadampa_Buddhist_Temple. How is the entry for Padmaloka_Buddhist_Retreat_Centre different from these entires? I am vary happy for suggestions as to how to comply with the Wikipedia policy on this.

• Keep I think that the article possibly just needs some editing (which User:Lotusskywalker have started with). I'll argue that the centre is not "a little known retreat" (at least not in Britain) and that AFAIK it is not a commercial enterprice. Andkaha^(talk) 12:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I have made significant chages to the page and have addressed the issues raised. Any comments? User:lotusskywalker
