The result was delete. I find persuasive the arguments of the majority of participants that the article is insufficiently sourced to support an article with that scope without veering into WP:SYNTH territory, which is a core policy. The basic problem is that you can't just list a number of incidents where Buddhists have been labeled as terrorists; you need reliable secondary published sources that discuss the phenomenon of "Buddhist terrorism" as a whole in some depth, and the "delete" opinions correctly point out that such sources are not cited in the article. This may change if such sources are provided; with all the attention given to terrorism in recent years, it would surprise me if there are no books by reputable academics that cover the subject. In the interim, a home for the content may well be found in some other Buddhism-related article, as some suggest, if there is editorial consensus for that. Sandstein 08:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply
