This page is part of the larger Buddhism project. We are filling in all of the Zen Centers/Temples in the world. Please contact me if you have any questions Golgofrinchian (talk) 23:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All Zen Centers/Temples in the world are not notable, any more than the church next door to my house. Just being a Zen Center doesn't make something notable, give us reasons to keep this. Corvus cornix_talk 23:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of the 200 or so being developed for the Buddhism project. A Zen center is much more rare than a local church. There may be 10 or so in the entire state of New York. They are hard to locate and this is one of the oldest centers in the US. I am not a member there and cannot add more detail without plagiarizing their website. I am in process of contacting them to see if they will fill it in more hence the zen-stub link on the bottom. Thanks Golgofrinchian (talk) 23:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it were truly notable, you would be able to find reliable sources which don't rely on the center's own website. Corvus cornix_talk 23:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Found several references and am adding those citations right now.Golgofrinchian (talk) 00:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hows that, I found 15 references but these 3 should be enough. If not would you please let me know what else I need? Thanks Golgofrinchian (talk) 00:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
