Idries Shah and Omar-Ali Shah Paris group

Hi Jayen, I've sent you an email with a URL to an interview with Catherine Hayter about the early days of the joint Paris group prior to the brothers' agreeing to disagree.

May be possible to extract something about group work and exercises currently missing from the WP articles?

Have asked the poster if he can provide a reference and page numbers.

Think I gave you a duff link. Try: http://hiddenrecess.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2018168%3ABlogPost%3A4131

Enjoy! EricT (talk) 15:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Eric. The question is whether or not it was published in what could be regarded as a reliable source (even a London paper, e.g., would do). I have a book by Augy Hayter that discusses this too (as well as discussing Ikbal Ali Shah's writing workshops turning out potboilers to pay the bills), but with a title like "Factions and Fictions", and the book being self-published, I am a bit wary of citing it as an encyclopedic source. Best, Jayen466 17:59, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
As you can see from the comments to the thread at HR, no reference has as yet been forthcoming, Jayen. Of course it could be a transcript of a taped interview rather than a printed interview. All I can suggest, if you get nowhere at HR and want to follow-up is to try:

It's getting less and less likely as the years go by and newsworthiness is lost that we'll get fresh reliable sources for the Shah brothers. You could always check out a yahoo! search of Alfredo Offidani / La Via / Life Quality Project if you want something fresh to get your editorial teeth into. Might fail on lack of notability? EricT (talk) 15:06, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Probably. The Spanish WP has an article on their Life Quality Project, but even that is a badly sourced fragment at the moment. Jayen466 22:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Did you just want some comments from me to you about the article, or would you prefer I place an article review on its talk page? Vassyana (talk) 19:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd be happy with just some informal feedback to me; but if you feel it would help the article's further progress, do post it to the talk page. Jayen466 19:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
