Ethical Code of the Yôgin

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

My Prod of the page was disputed, so I will explain my reasonings here. This article does not meet WP:NOTABILITY; a search reveals no reliable sources, and the only sources in this article are primary sources. Furthermore, the article is more of an endorsement and an essay than a legitimate article. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 22:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

What other sources would be necessary in order for this code of conduct to be considered legitimate material to put in wikipedia? There are three sources from books writen by Master DeRose, a respectable yogin and founder of the Union of Yoga in Brazil. There are also various interviews that have been carried out on Master DeRose in which he touches on the ethical code of the Yogin. These can be seen at www.uni-yoga.org

One of the most recent interviews to DeRose was made in 2009 by Portuguese journalist and writer António Mateus*. It was released on a DVD entitled “Conversas com Rumo”. The following caption languages are currently available: spanish, german, italian, The english version will soon be released (http://www.uni-yoga.org/entrevista_derose_tv.php). Also in April 2009 DeRose was interviewed by Portuguese State TV Channel TV2. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqHVm2u1T6I). On May 2007 he was the special guest of Portuguese TV show “Páginas Soltas”, hosted by Bárbara Guimarães http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T0pEOayeCc). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evolution618 (talk • contribs) 22:32, 5 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - Please see Notability; I don't see independent, reliable sources that have discussed this code in depth. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 22:38, 5 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - The article reads like an essay written by someone who read the philosophy of the two (and only two) books used as reference. It lacks the substance of an encyclopedia article.  Cheers.  Bagheera (talk) 22:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Only a deep connoisseur of Yoga philosophy can agree with the veracity of this page. The 10 ethical codes of the Yogin written originally by Patanjali on his classical book, the Yoga Sutra, are really well commented by this professor. It should be kept and not deleted.

 * Comment - I'm not sure I follow that first sentence. Which, I think, may be part of the issue.  The article is written in such a way that other contributors can't really figure out what the article is trying to say.  Perhaps this article could be subsumed into another part of the Wiki entries on Yoga?   Bagheera (talk) 00:07, 9 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. I appreciate that this took some time to put together, and it appears to be important to the author - but we need reliable sources independent of the subject to show that the subject actually is important. I have no objection to userfication, if we can be assured that the additional work will happen; otherwise, delete. I note, also, that there may be other wikipedia-style projects for which this might be more appropriate - it may be worthwhile to explore other options if you still wish to post this material online.
