The result was I find the article to border on what may not be permitted within our biography of living persons to be deleted to err (if we err) on the side of caution as borderline.. M er cury   01:33, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Although there was a lot of media attention to his girl, it's just another girl with a parasitic twin. Many articles were created about children with parasitic twins, such as Manar Maged, and were deleted. I see no point in creating an article like this,and I say Merge or redirect to parasitic twin or conjoined twins
 * Keep: I disagree. If there was a significant degree of media coverage (lasting for two weeks), then the girl and her surgery should be covered in a short article for future reference. Plus, the girl was made famous because of the many times that she was likened to Lakshmi in both the Indian and international press because of her natal situation. If anything, this article would be useful to the religious types, especially in India. Finally, why is it that a little conjoined twin girl from Bihar who was covered in the press due to her likeness to a Hindu goddess shouldn't be covered in an article, but the lives of two twin women from Iran who were conjoined at the head are covered extensively in another article? Yes, I know that I'm violating some rule of Wikipedia debate, but I think that it's legitimate.--Toussaint 22:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. Yes, but they were famous because of the way they were joined, how long they lived joined, and how many people knew them. also,they were conjoined twins and Lakshmi had a parasitic twin. like I said before,many people created articles like Manar Maged,who had a parasitic twin. The page was deleted. So how come I nominated the page Lakshmi Tatma for deletion? Same Reason. The girl may be slightly notable, but doesn't deserve a complete article like the one you created. Lakshmi isn't notable herself-only the godess and her condition are.She doesn't need an article like Parasitic twin and conjoined twins.IslaamMaged126 22:30, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
