 * Swami Ganapathi Sachchidananda is infact highly notable. He has temples and centers worldwide.
 * A host of websites regarding his spiritual music. Please spend some time to go through the links in the article. His ashram has been visited by whos who of India time and again. He has scores of devotees world over and centers in Europe and Australia. I mean if all these doesn't make him non-notable, then I dont understand what else will. Please do some more research and check following links.

 * If you're involved in the deletion process, please don't limit your comment to "non-notable" or "nn".


 * This comment has come to mean nothing more than "I want this article deleted" and/or "I think this article shouldn't be on Wikipedia", and may give the impression that you are not bothered to actually check up on it or find a proper reason for deleting the article. Tell us why you think the subject is non-notable, and what you understand by "non-notable".


 * This goes double if you're nominating an article. "NN" is not a reason for deletion. "Fails WP:BIO", "I think this subject is of interest to only a very limited number of people", or "unverifiable" are. At the very worst, please expand on why you think someone or something is non-notable.


 * The exception to this is when referring to CSDs and the like. The nn prefix here refers to the articles lacking any assertion of notability. --Andhrabhoja (talk) 05:59, 29 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Check the sources provided
 * From wiki, A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published[3] secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent,[4] and independent of the subject.


 * An article published on india-today magazine, the premier weekly magazine of India.

 * If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.


 * Following this criteria, there are multiple highly regarded secondary sources, the above ones and here http://www.opm.gov.tt/photo_gallery/gallery.php?gid=1172681335&id=1177530362


 * I don't know, if this is not notability, then half of people's bio on wiki should be deleted.
 * Please do some research. I will provide more sources. Andhrabhoja (talk) 14:06, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
