 * Well, that's not quite so; she is notable for winning both the first Indian National Yoga Championship and the first Bishnu Charan Ghosh Cup; she is also notable for co-founding the United States Yoga Federation (USA Yoga) and the International Yoga Sports Federation (IYSF); so her notability is not solely based on her former husband (Bikram Choudhury). I'd have thought these four claims would be sufficient for a Keep, but if not then a Merge to BC's article would be appropriate. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:26, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * What the exact heck is Indian National Yoga Championship? Who organizes the competition? Google shows me near-absolutely nothing and sources, that proclaims the notability of the championship, are welcome.This NYT piece literally describes everything about IYSF as well as USYF, a country-affiliate of the former. Two of the gazillion NGOs who have made a lucrative business of yoga and universal opinion is that they were founded by the husband-wie duo to promote Bikram Yoga and that it has precisely zero relevance outside of their well-maintained cult. Also, this.  &#x222F; WBG converse 13:57, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Too many "heck"s and "near-absolutely"s and "gazillion"s for an orderly discussion, really: they are quite unnecessary. However, the competition is, as the article says, the National Yoga Championship held by the Yoga Federation of India from 1979, so I'd have thought that more than clear enough already; it's also covered in the more reliable parts of the Indian press. Where I do agree with you is that RC seems to have functioned very closely as an adjunct of her husband during the marriage, and since it seems she won the competition(s) she founded, that in itself is worth noting in a paragraph of his article (remarkable, actually), implying a MERGE.

 * Can you provide an independent source or two, behind her's winning the National Yoga championship, held by YFI and the first Bishnu Charan Ghosh Cup ? &#x222F; WBG</b> converse 17:10, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, the obvious places (India, her own/Bikram Yoga sites) are all flaky or dependent. The [Daily Telegraph] mentions she is the "five-time winner of the All-India Yoga Championship between 1979 to 1983", i.e. every year from 1979 to 1983. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:17, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Bikram Choudhury. I am not seeing notability in the sources presented. Doing well in a non-notable competition mentioned in passing, and being married to a notable person, are not sufficient. There is no need to merge, as the subject is already discussed in enough detail in the target article. BD2412  T 15:09, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
 * That's because I've added it there since this began. A redirect is indeed all that remains to be put in place. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:12, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
