Request for Help With Notability of Santikaro Biographical Article

[edit]

Hello! I'm working on a draft Wikipedia article about '''Santikaro''' – an American Buddhist teacher and translator of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu. The draft was declined with the note that it lacks sufficient ''significant coverage'' in reliable, independent, secondary sources.

I'm reaching out to ask for help identifying sources that might support notability – especially those that provide more than just a passing mention. Specifically, I'm looking for:

  • Academic or Buddhist studies publications that discuss his work
  • Media coverage of his teachings, translations, or role in Western Buddhism
  • Reviews or discussions of his translations of Buddhadasa
  • Biographical features or in-depth interviews in reliable outlets

So far, I’ve located some retreat center bios, brief mentions on Buddhist websites, and a few podcast appearances. However, these don’t meet the threshold for secondary sources that are both ''independent'' and show ''significant coverage''.

If anyone is aware of any qualifying sources – or has suggestions on where to look – I’d be very grateful!

The draft can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Santikaro

Please feel free to modify this draft as you believe is necessary to make it accepted, if you believe that there is something that can be done. Or you can let me know what changes you think would be good. This draft is not encyclopedic enough, for sure - and some of the things I have known about Santikaro are not fully supported. I have no problem if this draft becomes much shorter, but a fully objective and encyclopedic article, as Wikipedia requires. I have to be away for one month (retreat) before I can work on this again.

Thanks in advance! Peaceful-D (talk) 15:24, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
