Kathia Baba

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

Its completely unreferenced and appears like a cut and paste job from a webpage. Not notable, possible original research and no references to support notability MBest-son (talk) 22:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC) 
 * Comment. With all the effort that's gone into writing the article (why is it that only Indians use such wonderful English words as circumambulation?) I would have hoped that the creator would have provided one short sentence to say who or what this is. The article seems to be about a sect which is organised as a charitable trust, but it also says that the term Kathia Baba refers to saints within a sect. The external link is no more informative. There are a few Google Books hits for the article title, all of which seem to be about people with this name, or whose names include this, rather than a sect, but Google doesn't display enough for us to establish whether these are in any way related to this article.

 * Let's take it slow on this one. I'll see if I can find a WikiProject to look at this. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 05:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep I have added a reliable source to the notability and the article can be stubbed and kept in this condition until any other source found. Wikidās ॐ 12:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC) I actually changed to keep - we need current Nimbarka sampradaya representatives for an upcoming project that includes it as a part of larger scheme.

 * Keep per Wikidas. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 21:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Article, as written, is incomprehensible to those who do not already have a background in the subject matter. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 05:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - hard to know what this is about, although it may well be notable. Perhaps scaling it back to a few paragraphs or sections in an attempt to first identify what it is, then gradually expand (with many more references) would help. Without that, I don't see that this article adds to the project. Philosophy is hard to write about; I think it's even harder when its original language is different than the one in which it's being written about. There's no WP:ITSTOOHARD policy that I know of, so I'm not suggesting we can't or shouldn't have the article or series of them, but as it is now, it's not really understandable.
