The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Though cited by various academic papers, and used in exactly 2 outside sources in a Google News search, as written is promotional and unhelpful. Proposing deletion per WP:TNT. Hwdirre (talk) 09:44, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Update: Someone removed the promotional sentence. As it stands now, it is still unsourced. I'm not sure on WP:N(books) so I'm going to have to punt. Hwdirre (talk) 23:35, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Notable. The coverage in sources, the level of citation (see GScholar), the fact that it is continued to go through editions and reprints for several decades (meaning it is a classic), having been used by more than one million people (according to Penguin Random House), and the fact that it has been called "close second in worldwide influence" in its field, etc, satisfies NBOOK. Since the book's author has an article, deletion would violate ATD, PRESERVE and R. There is not, and never was, a case for TNT. James500 (talk) 04:26, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Notable. Agree with reasons above, but the article needs expansion. --Jaldous1 (talk) 23:02, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Vishnudevananda Saraswati. If you don't have reviews to expand the topic, cover it summary style within its parent. czar  09:52, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
