I am not seeing any reliable-source secondary coverage of this UN General Assembly-declared awareness day for a pass of WP:GNG. Like the sources in the article, the sources in the WP:BEFORE search are all unbylined WP:NEWSORGINDIA churnalism. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:47, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I have so far found newspaper articles about a World Meditation Day in June in 1968, and on the 3rd Sunday of each month in 1988. Still looking for this one .... RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:13, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This one is tricky. I found about a hundred different news articles in Indian and Nepalese newspapers and magazines, but WP:NEWSORGINDIA warns us to be careful to use them to establish notability, since they aren't reliable. In these case, maybe there are some of them which could be reliable, since they're reporting the primary source, but sorting them out could be troublesome.

However, I found a few reliable news articles, in Spanish: [1] [2] [3] and a couple of articles in English: [4] [5] -- Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 03:07, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to add two other links which seem reliable enough: [6] [7]

Comment on sources supplied by Itzcuauhtli11: Clarin, Noticias RCN, and Cadena are unbylined and read as churnalism. MIU is affiliated with one of the creators of World Meditation Day and thus of questionable independence. 17 Global Goals is a site whose mission is to promote UN activities, and Friends is a pro-transcendental meditation initiative. SBS Hindi seems to be the only truly secondary, independent, reliable coverage offered of this holiday. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:56, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for not betting the independence of the sources I gave. It's not clear for me if Clarín engages in churnalism.

I'd like to add that The Indian Express WP:INDIANEXP is considered reliable and has two articles on the subject: [8] [9]. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 00:13, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
