Mainstream science ignores the research because (i) mainstream scientists are not, with very few exceptions, doing any research on TM. The overwhelming majority of this research is being done by a handful of people all with ties to MUM and the M Org. and (ii) virtually none of it ever gets cited in any other research other than again, by the same small circle of TM-sponsored researchers.  Reread WP:SET because is specifically warns that Google News and Google Scholar are not appropriate for what you propose - trying to weigh the relative prominence of one. I have proposed a metric for the research portion of this article: use only the studies which per WP:MEDRS are regarded as the most reliable - and that would be the handful of metastudies published in peer-reviewed jounals which have done the job that the editors here are frankly incapable of doing - determining which of the ""hundreds"" of ""peer reviewed"" studies on meditation were properly conducted and appropriately documented, and then assess whether or not they show anything significant. And, I am happy to stand by my edits and my history of achieving consensus whereever and whenever other editors are actually interested in consensus.   "
