Merge to Transcendental_Meditation as a duplicate WP:CFORK. Per the opening lines of this article "The Transcendental Meditation technique is a specific form of mantra meditation[1] developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It is often referred to as Transcendental Meditation or simply, TM. The Existing TM article is quite short summary style currently, so there probably is a good amount of content in this article to be merged over. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:56, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clear Keep, as was created by consensus May I suggest the nominator reads the talk archives of Transcendental_Meditation - this may take them a little time, but time is infinite, and there are only 41 archives.

Briefly, it was agreed that the main TM article, about 125Kb in September 2010, was too long and should be split into sub articles. Transcendental Meditation technique is one of the sub-articles created by this consensus - and was created in this diff in the edit history of Transcendental Meditation, with the edit summary "move as suggested to sub-page", on 2 September 2010 - Arjayay (talk) 19:40, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article is about a practice of a religion. The main article is about the religion generally. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:31, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I dont believe this shit but, im very curious what this stuff is all about, and was surprised to see the removal tag on the page. Fix it, dont delete it. Deletion is ignorance. 75.119.224.220 (talk) 20:04, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This article is very well-written and refers to a well-known activity.It contains views of both supporters and skeptics and I believe would be of great value to a curious reader wanting to know more.

The whole article should stay, as is. 218.250.145.11 (talk) 06:20, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
