I think a reading of her bio will indicate that she is a founder of a large group of people. I believe she is relatively well known among Budhists in the United States. She has her talks recorded on the IMCW website: http://www.imcw.org/audio/audio.php

Hello, thanks for the feedback. I made some additional changes for clarity and to avoid redundancy.

She is well known among both Buddhists and psychologists in the United States. However, many of the clinical psychologists who have read her work will not necessarily know she is the founder of a large local organization, be familiar with its name, or have any idea that her internationally popular talks are given away on the IMCW organization's website for free.

I can indicate that in the article if necessarily.

I'd love to understand how the article seems non-neutral as the biography presented is the one presented when introducing her before conferences. Please also help to understand where any weasel words appear and how best to adhere to Wikipedia's quality standards. Does the article still need additional sources?

I will make some changes now.

Thank you.

Jlchan29 (talk) 19:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC) It would helpful to know why this person does not meet the notability guidelines as she has been prominently featured by many notable secondary sources.[reply]

I do see that references to several of those sources have been deleted. I will re-list but ask the editors to monitor whether they are deleted again. Thank you. Janna Chan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlchan29 (talk • contribs) 14:19, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the author's notability has been now established by her association with teachers, conference centers, and companies considered notable by Wikipedia as well articles from reputable sources featuring her work. If editors disagree what other sources would be helpful in establishing notability?
