 * Keep He was a prominent religious leader in ISKCON (The Hare Krishna Movement). He was a member of the Governing Body Commission, a sannyasi and an initiating guru. That makes him notable enough to be on Wikipedia.--Gaura79 (talk) 10:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Rewrote the article. Every statement is supported by RS now.--Gaura79 (talk) 10:46, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The article is still about a non-notable subject. In addition, the sources do little to add to the subject's notability. Article still deserves a delete. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 00:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Suhotra Swami was a member of the Governing Body Commission, a sannyasi, and an initiating guru. I've made some research and found out that presently there're only 22 individuals in ISKCON who occupy those leadership posts at the same time. There are 26 or 27 more who are only sannyasis ang gurus. I think that any individual from this group potentially deserves an article on Wiki. I already gave my arguments on AfD debates on other ISKCON senior leaders. In previous AfD debates several editors presented and supported similar view.--Gaura79 (talk) 10:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep as a leader of a medium-sized part of a major religion. I've looked through the references in the article and, from the ones that have anything visible through Google Books this one looks like the clincher: a book published by what must be just about the most fundamentalist Catholic university in the world, so would not be expected in any way to try to promote the reputation of a Hindu.
