Reads like an ad in many places, seems to fail WP:NBIO. Not certain there's an article in here which can be saved. Searching for the author's name turns up zero independent sources, unless I've missed something. Probably issues with COI (see the rights information of the image in the article in context of the promotional nature of the article) though possibly that's a reach? Nonetheless, doesn't seem to belong here. Warrenmck (talk) 03:12, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Sorry, after nominating this I realized the results of the prior discussion was delete but the article wasn’t deleted. This can be CSDed, I believe. Warrenmck (talk) 06:55, 19 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I added G6. But also delete WP:NOTCV &mdash;siro&chi;o 10:12, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * For a supposedly notable German-born author, there is no biographical information regarding his name previous to "Madhukar", although the German language sources listed in the article are inaccessible or opaque. Could this "Madhukar" be Berthold Madhukar Thompson? - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * In answer to my own above question: no. According to a cult education forum, the deceased German spiritual teacher Berthold Madhukar Thompson who went by the name "Madhukar" is sometimes mistaken for another (living?) German spiritual teacher Bernd Jürgen Merkle who goes by the name "Madhukar". And blogs about him are highly critical. In any event, the subject of our article clearly does not pass WP:NBIO, so delete. - LuckyLouie (talk) 17:02, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
