Mani Irani

I fail to see an iota of notability of the subject and non-trivial significant coverage about her, except in her connection as the mother of Meher Baba.Notability isn't inherited.Redirect sought, for there's nothing much merge-able to a GA.

Part of a likely walled garden around Meher Baba.

This t/p thread may provide some nackgound aspects on the issue. ~ Winged Blades Godric 12:01, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. When I tagged this page for notability I did not find anything that suggested notability. What I did see was a LOT of cruft related to Meher Baba being dumped into Wikipedia, Such as an article on a photographer who followed him around and took his photo a lot of time. Utterly non notable and deleted as such. She like much of the cruft surrounding Baba lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:26, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect if deemed a likely search term. Per my earlier statement. Following an equally thorough WP:BEFORE search here as there, the same arguments in principle apply to this nomination. —SerialNumber54129  paranoia / cheap shit room 12:41, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, she was not only his sister but a major disciple, author, and a caretaker of Baba's history. In looking at these deletion nominations and links to talk pages it seems a coordinated effort is being done to remove related pages from Wikipedia. I am not in whatever cult the nominator is imagining exists (and it's sad that the nature of the language used in the noms and comments necessitates having to "distance" myself from the group in order not to be tarred with some kind of all-purpose brush), but am an editor of an encyclopedia which has a fine collection of Meher Baba pages which shouldn't be picked apart because of a seemingly communicated bias.

 * Thanks.Please provide the sources, since you've gladly forgot the main criterion of defending the notability of an article. ~ Winged Blades Godric 15:59, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The main criteria is "she was not only his sister but a major disciple, author, and a caretaker of Baba's history". Do you think the sources listed are lying about any of those things? Randy Kryn (talk) 14:15, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and redirect >> Merge to Mandali per discussion in Articles for deletion/Kitty Davy. Hoverfish Talk 14:07, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The redirect target is definitely better than my proposed one but I guess an article can't be kept and redirected at the same time:) ~ Winged Blades Godric  14:12, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability is not inherited. Edward321 (talk) 14:38, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED. Not seeing any in-depth third-party sourcing sufficient to establish independent notability. GSS (talk |c|em ) 18:10, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable in her own right aside from her relation to Meher Baba. Dazedbythebell (talk) 18:24, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
