Manu (Theosophy)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No reliable sources added to the article in over a decade. Only unreliable Theosophical writers like Elizabeth Clare Prophet are cited. No academic historians have specifically covered this topic, it is not possible to have a neutral article. The only sources that cover the topic are fringe related Theosophical sources that fail WP:RS. The topic is non-notable and no independent coverage exists.
