The "teachings" or "philosophy" or whatever it's being called sections actually may include some third-party sources that could be used here. Some of the sources added just look to be blogs and personal websites, so those aren't usable, but the ones that are in books or more stable websites might be, depending on the content and context. The main problem is the unencyclopedic nature of the text, the loooooooong quotes, far too many quotes, and the constant hyperbole and original research. If someone wants to read those sources and incorporate them in a way that adds to the article in a concise and encyclopedic manner, or to just use them to replace primary sources, that would be fine. But the way they've been added in recent edits is not salvageable. It's not fair to expect other editors to go through all that in search of something encyclopedic. I think Baker's notability is really borderline. I guess she passes the "college professor test", if we're still using that. But I've seen far more well-known people not included. Just saying. - CorbieV☊☼ 23:22, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
