DeRose (yoga teacher)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. Approximately two daily lifestyle-section type articles mention him. The article is obvious promotion and the previous AFD notes that it was created by someone affiliated with him. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 02:22, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Well, searching gives very few links, but there are 12 citations in the Portuguese Wiki article, and they include ITU.com.br which seems to be a serious broadcaster, Folha de S.Paulo which is a national daily newspaper, and Globo.com which is a major web portal in Brazil. All three have given DeRose substantial coverage. I think we should ask a Portuguese speaker or better a Brazilian resident, but this looks close to notability to me.

 * The first one does appear to be a press release. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 18:59, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Roscelese -- thanks! Of the 11 refs in the Portuguese Wiki, how many do you think are substantial and in reliable sources? Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:30, 9 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete promotional context, a yoga teacher by that references is not notable. Abtehas98 (talk) 18:24, 12 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Well, you may well be correct, but I would welcome confirmation from Portuguese speakers on the quality of the sources cited in the Portuguese Wiki (linked above). Abtehas98, does that include you? Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:11, 12 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Having looked through the sources on portugese wiki, the only one I see that is significant and independent is an article in globo . Rockphed (talk) 11:54, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for checking. We should therefore Delete for lack of sources in any language. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:04, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I should probably clarify that I used machine translation and threw out about half the sources as unindependent because they were sourced to one of the schools he founded. Rockphed (talk) 15:43, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * You'll be adding Portuguese to your WikiBabel list of userboxen, then... Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:30, 13 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per lack of sources to establish GNG. MB 16:47, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. This article is promotional crap, but I think there's a case to be made that the DeRose method, at least, has some claim to notability; I'm seeing a number of mentions in reliable sources, and it's possible that there are more substantive mentions that I'm not seeing. It's "delete" on the person, though. Vanamonde (Talk) 01:25, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
