Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Zen centers in the United States
I don't think it looks like an advertisement. However, |Wikipedia is not a directory. This information appears to have been ripped from Buddhanet.net and other similar sites, then dumped on Wikipedia. This is unacceptable. Considering the fact that Eastern European geographical entries and similarly dubious content are being spammed onto Wikipedia en masse, this article appears to be good enough to belong in ''Wikipedia'', by its very low community standards. However, not good enough to belong in an actual '''''**encyclopedia**''''', with ''reasonable'' standards, which we must work towards hopefully maybe establishing, someday in the distant future. Lists like these (i.e. List of LGBT couples) don't belong in a credible, legitimate encyclopedia and should be deleted immediately. If a certain Zen center is notable (there appear to be several on that list with articles on them), you can add them to :Category:Zen centers and :Category:Buddhist temples in the United States, if they aren't already there. Also, for obvious reasons, I'm a neutral party here. Zen|&#9775;&nbsp;&nbsp
