This biographical article of a religious leader does not demonstrate why she has notability in the broader context of Buddhism in the United States.

Keep - I do want disclose that I wrote the article for
Chapel Hill Zen Center (where she is the abbess) last month, but I have never been to that Zen Center nor have I ever met this person or have any connection with her in any way. However, in researching sources for that article I did come across some sources that @
Kansan and
Oaktree b might not be aware of. In addition to
the PBS mention that's used as a ref in the article she was featured in The News & Observer in 2000 (
B1B3) and across several pages of
this book that was published in 2012. While it's not super in-depth,
this 2017 book is more than a trivial mention as described in
WP:GNG. Not counting that last one, I think that's three good sources that are independent of the article's subject, meeting
WP:GNG. She has also written works on Buddhism, and the first criteria listed at
WP:AUTHOR is being widely-cited. I won't just flood the page with examples but she is cited in
this 2005 book,
this 2012 book,
this 2013 book,
this 2014 book,
this 2017 book, and
this 2022 book. There's even cites in things like
a music doctoral thesis. I do think that notability is there, it's just not reflected in the current state of the article. -
