[edit] Passage Meditation

Passage Meditation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I prodded this article, but the author asked me to reconsider. For the sake of WP:NOOB, I'm going to consider this a procedural listing. YechielMan 16:48, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear YechielMan: thank you for reconsidering. What does it mean then that "this is a procedural listing"? Does that mean the article will not get deleted? Or do I still have to do something? Thanks

It means that when the closing administrator counts votes, he should consider my opinion to be neutral. (AFD is not really a vote, but that's another discussion for another time.) I have raised concerns with Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. These are tricky problems and may require a substantial rewrite of the article to fix them.

From original submitter: I have edited this page to include more secondary references of why this is a notable entry. This is my first attempt at putting something onto Wikipedia so if I have done it wrong, please bear with me! I found out about Passage Meditation by attending a retreat about it and was surprised to see that there was no description of it on wikipedia since it seems to me to be a legitimate method of meditation that is different enough from other methods to warrant its own definition in wikipedia.

  • Keep. Notable. Passage meditation is the practice of one of the most popular authors on yoga, Eknath Easwaran, whose books have sold lots of copies. (His book Meditation is in the ninth printing of its second edition[1]). — goethean ॐ 15:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
