Oppose. Suggest resolving Koro Kaisan Miles Chaun zhi and Jy Ding first. Please start with Jy Ding first? It is the earliest link in the chain.

Koro Kaisan Miles is a new page in review, and a rework of an earlier draft under a different name (Fa Lohng Huo Hong Fa). Koro Kaisan Miles resolves the orphaned entry issue and is the bridge between Jy Ding, Chuan zhi, and Michael Pockley.

If it is agreed that Koro Kaisan Miles is substantiated enough, but that Michael Pockley isn't, suggest putting brief details of Michael Pockley onto the Koro Kiasan Miles page. OR, adding both under Chuan zhi? Brofitable (talk) 16:58, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I also had a fail when identifying reliable secondary coverage and sigcov. Missvain (talk) 20:32, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If an article is deleted, can it be recreated as an article for review later on? I didn't understand this step when I started out.Brofitable (talk) 23:21, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I understand how dharma names are given in this lineage, and have access to the relevant tonsure poem, I was able to conduct a better web search here, for Chuan zhi, Jy Ding, and for Hsu Yun Temple. Several new citations added to each. Zenothing (talk) 11:50, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Just in case it is not evident to other editors coming here, Zenothing is the same editor as Brofitable (via an appropriate user rename). — MarkH₂₁^talk 02:07, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
