The result was Draftify. While thin commentary has been made, potentially notable. Eggishorn's suggestion that it be taken through the AfC process is probably a good idea. (non-admin closure)  Onel 5969  TT me 11:44, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Shrila Patitpavan Goswami Thakur

I am, admittedly, not well versed in Eastern religion, but a google search of the subject only produced four results. I don't know if there would be more in another language. There is no link to the article in other languages. The tone of the article is biased, at it presents supernatural events as fact. It is also devoid of any references.

 * Comment: There are few articles available online, where as there are large number of offline articles and we are starting to add everything about him and his disciples in internet. He is a spiritual master of a sect of people following Gaudiya Vaishnav religion in West Bengal, India. And it has been extracted and translated from his biography written in 'Bengali' language, which is available as an offline book. I did not find any mention of supernatural events here. We will keep on editing the article and will be adding requisite references soon. Achyutananda Brahmachari • talk • contribs 16:14, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Adding those references will contribute to the stregnth of the article. The supernatural occurences I was refering to are under the subheading "His childhood days and meeting Shrila Prabhupada."  It speaks of dreams and miraculous curings.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 16:59, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * We have started including references, and two of the references have already been mentioned. We will be adding a few more and we request for the removal of the article from 'article for deletion'. He has immense contribution towards women Gaudiya Vaishnav devotees and we request, he be shown minimum request by allowing the article in wikipedia. It is just his biography, that has been translated and extracted from books "Patit pavan Sudha" and "Shrila Prabhujir Jivani" which are offline available books, written in Bengali Language. So it is neither fake, nor written from a fan point of view and is totally neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.52.245.251 (talk) 06:45, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Draftify to allow sourcing. This is entirely unsourced and requires extensive rewriting before it can be used in mainspace but there are assertions that, if supported by sources, would indicate possibility of passing WP:GNG.  There would need to be verifiable documentation of scholarly or theological interest from those outside of the article subject's followers, however, to show that.  I suggest to the followers obviously working on the article to submit through the Articles for Creation process before restoring to main article space.
