 * Delete. The article may be not about a man, but about a monastery, but the lack of sources still makes it both unverifiable and non-notable. Huon (talk) 14:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Check the edit history, smells like POV Pushing --Numyht (talk) 15:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep:The Guru is the spiritual head of the Daivadnya community(numbering approxinately 0.8 million ) and the Matha is their centerpoint (something akin to the Vatican for Catholics, if the comparison is appropriate). Does need a rewite though. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 06:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply Do you know of any reliable sources that discuss this information? Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 15:46, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Deepak. ~ priyanath talk 16:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment References are needed for verification. If this person was the "Pope" of all .8 million Daivadnya, then this subject would be notable. Being able to verify this information is very important. The Wikipedia article on the Daivajna Math Tradition states that the math at Shree Jnaneshwari Peetha is new and that there are many religious communities and two large ones (Smartha and Vaishnava) that constitute the entire religion of the Daivadnya. If this is the case, then this person and his organization really do not represent the .8 million Daivadnya, but may only claim to represent them. There needs to be reliable sources to back up any claims that he is the religious leader of the Daivadnya, or that this math is the center of their religious community. I have not seen any. Thanks.

 * Reply: My knowledge of Daivadnyas is limited. Perhaps the creator of the article can carify this issue better. I will leave a note on the creator's talk page. --17:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The reason why I ask for sources is that I could not find any at all, much less reliable sources. I found no mention of either the matha or its guru in Google Scholar, Google Books or Google News. Thank you for contacting the author, maybe they have reliable sources or know where to find them. Without the reliable sources, editors are not able verify the notability of this article. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 13:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - although I might be persuaded to switch sides if the article is heavily copyedited and completely rewritten to make it more understandable to the average reader. --Alinnisawest(talk) 01:18, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
