The result was no consensus. I considered relisting again but with two relists proving only one new !vote, I don't see how another relist could have helped here. WP:NPASR applies.  So Why  12:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. I don't know why Goggle News is your criteria. Most of the sources are offline, but one of them is to a entire book about him, Rāmakṛṣṇa Paramahaṁsa: A Psychological Profile. I'm assuming he is Rāmakṛṣṇa Paramahaṁsa (I believe so, I think that "Rāmakṛṣṇa" is an honorific). An entire book... and it is published by Brill Publishers, a large international outfit with an article here... so that would meet WP:GNG right there, having a book about you published by Brill.


 * And there are 17 sources in the article, a fair number. Most of them are offline and I can't see them. This one is used to ref "was an Indian sadguru, yogi, mystic and a Hindu spiritual leader well known in India". It refers to "Shri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa" which I guess is him, in which case he is one name in a list of authors which the writer says influenced him. This one is used to ref "associated with the shakti cult and viewed as a perfect spiritual master of gyan, yoga and prema or bhakti". If he is the "Purnanada Parhamhamsa" mentioned here which I guess he is, he's mentioned in passing but described as the author of an important work. Not much, but mentions like this add up in my book.


 * He is asserted to be "well known in India" and wrote some books, also achieved perfection and visited nirvana. And these statements are ref'd, although I have to mostly trust that they're good refs. But the main thing is the book about him. Herostratus (talk) 06:08, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
