Dolano

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Subject fails WP:GNG, with no reliable secondary sources available. The only claim to notability seems to be that Dolano was (1) a follower of Osho, and (2) organizes satsangs in Pune - which do not justify a wikipedia article (as per WP:BIO) Abecedare (talk) 19:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - Hey there, this topic may not be your cup of tea, nevertheless it is notable. Dolano is an important name in spiritual circles. If you filter Dolano, you can also delete entries like Ramesh Balsekar and other masters/teachers of the same renown. One thing that is particularly notable about Dolano in the world of spiritual teachers is that she is not a guru with a teaching and followers. Rather, she says that she takes people who are at the end of the spiritual path and "pushes them off the cliff" through her one-month process, "the last satsang", allowing them to awaken. Therefore, after her process, there is no one left to hang around and create hoopla, these people are finished with the spiritual path!! So from a certain standpoint this is the most notable thing happening in the world today. Who else promises to help you awaken NOW---not after years and years of following their particular system? And you can see on the web that many people know about this, even if it is not an everyday name like Eckhart Tolle, who does his work at the beginning of the spiritual path. As for reliable sources, please trust that the article will grow over time as technically-inclined people with an interest in the topic join the edit team.

 * Keep - WP:BIO says 'The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.' Dolano is known for originating a significant new technique: 'Intensive Satsang' (aka 'The Last Satsang'), a technique to make people wake up to their true nature through a one-month process. More than Buddha can claim. :) Awakening is the goal of spirituality! Sorry if that's not your cup of tea but it's a big deal in this field, and that's notable.

 * See "significant", though. It isn't just "does one person think it is significant?" it is "do newspapers or other reliable sources think the technique is significant? Ironholds (talk) 12:50, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
