I've found one article so far that appears to be scholarly, and will post it on Neo-spiritualism's talk page. It may be for a neo-spiritualism different than the one we've got right now though ...

Google Scholar gives 15 hits for the term as well but none of them gives reference to Ruhselman. How about the above reference. I think the explanation as it is now is totally uncredible. Probably the above reference and the others use it as a general term for some new age religions. I still vote for delete. -- þħɥʂıɕıʄʈʝɘɖı 06:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm neutral on this right now; will search for Ruhselman later today, hopefully before the article is deleted. I expect the 3 other folks who have weighed in here are correct in that this neo- is a generalized term. It is probably not a good precedent to have WP articles for neo-this-that-and-the-other-thing unless they are really well established terms, which this clearly is not at this time. Keesiewonder 12:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC) / After a bit of a search for Bedri Ruhselman, and not having found anything in several academic databases, I need to update my vote to delete.
