Talk:Lex Hixon

Biography Section Removed

I've removed the entire "Biography" section from the article, as it appears to be a completely non-NPOV copyvio of the subject's autobiography. This site, among other similar sites, many of which do not appear to be mirrors of the article, have the exact same text that was included in quotes in our article here in the biography section, crediting it to Lex Hixon himself. The constant use of first-person pronouns confirms this. Since our article made no claim of permission or even cited a source for the text, I have removed it from the article. I would not recommend adding it back in, as since it was written by the subject, there is a conflict of interest involved (even though he is dead, I know) and it definitely was not neutral. If someone wants to discuss this, I'm open to it; the text I removed is retained in the article history. I'm just putting this out to explain the removal of over half the article. I don't think this affects the claim to notability at all - we've still got his referenced bibliography and a few sources to back up the other info. That's the reason I didn't AfD this. If someone can write a biography of their own, please do so, it's needed - I have to admit I don't know much about this guy, so won't offer to do it myself. Happy editing to all.

Other books

Further work

There is quite a bit of material in the Yoga Journal article, in the Cassia Berman article, and elsewhere that could be incorporated. Some of the writing here is not up to WP standards. All need footnotes. One thing though: Hixon was not only a sufi teacher and Muslim; he was also a Hindu, a Christian, and a Buddhist of two flavours. The "Sufism" box at the bottom of the page: does he deserve a "Buddhism" and "Hinduism" box too? Devadaru (talk) 18:41, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
