• Keep: Per [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], and [9]. SL93 (talk) 03:30, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great, go ahead and source the article with those. Yworo (talk) 22:07, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, not all of those are reliable sources:

1. Not independent, affiliated with subject "It was then that I met my teacher Adyashanti".
2. This is an advert in Tricycle, not an article.
3. Awake Publishing appears to be affiliated with the subject. See their website.
4. This appears to be a valid source, though it's an interview.
5. This source also looks good.
6. AuthorHouse is a self-publishing service, not a reliable source.
7. This source looks good.
8. This source also looks good.
9. Publisher is self-publisher eBookIt.com, not a reliable source.

Looks like not nine, but four usable sources: 4, 5, 7 & 8. Yworo (talk) 22:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My vote is the same. I also found this interview. I won't add the sources to the article because I am personally not interested in the subject and they shouldn't be all external links. I can try to save the article from deletion though. SL93 (talk) 22:27, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another interview in Tricycle. SL93 (talk) 22:32, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The criterion for deletion is not currently having no source for notability , but there being no such sources. Anyone, including the nom, can add the ones they admit are good sources to the article. DGG ( talk ) 18:52, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per DGG. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 01:35, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
