Swami Gyananand

Doesn't appear to be notable in the great scheme of things, notably Indian religion. Most of the sources are either primary or mention things he's been involved with, rather than the person themselves. Written by a paid editor. Black Kite (talk) 14:59, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - Do you really thin that references like (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/18k-recite-shlokas-as-gita-mahotsav-ends/articleshow/67152706.cms) is paid? Let me inform you about the title "Manishi" as per Hindus. Wikipedia needs to know about the titles like Mahamandaleshwar and Manishi. Swami Gyananand is Manishi that means "biggest Knower". Kurukshetra is the place where Lord Krishna himself taught Bhagwad Gita. He is known with the title "Gita Manishi" and now he is sitting on the highest seat where Lord Krishna himself gave the teachings. Add to that he organizes biggest International Gita Mahotsav every year where Prime Minister of India visits every year. He is the chief of biggest research center related to Bhagwat Gita. This is enough to prove his notability. Also am adding many references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Babitahamdard (talk • contribs) 04:24, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't think the nom said the sources were paid, I think he suggested the editor who wrote the article was paid. The Times Of India source is pretty weak - this is what I'd consider a passing mention. A lot of news articles are of the 'this notable thing happened, also X person was there and Y person said Z about it' type. The article establishes notability for the 'thing' but often not for the people. What we'd want is an article from a reliable, independent source that is completely or substantially about the person.
