Does not seem notable Curb Chain (talk) 14:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:PROMOTION and unreferenced WP:BLP. The article is so hopelessly biased that, even if he were notable, it would require WP:DYNAMITE. Pburka (talk) 15:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Withdraw !vote following application of dynamite. Pburka (talk) 04:22, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails all notability guidelines. Google searches turned up nothing that could be considered significant coverage in multiple independent sources. Clearly promotional. Nothing worth saving or merging. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 10:32, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This fails so many tests that I do not know where to begin. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 23:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete seems to be failing WP:PROMOTION and WP:G11. Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 15:34, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I'd happily re-write the article from scratch to fix the PROMOTION. For notability, this from The Hindu says Sri Raghavendra Guruji "secured the prestigious Pathanjali Award" presented by the "former President of Costa Rica". Seems like a major ("prestigious") award which might clear WP:ANYBIO. But having difficultly finding any sources to actually write an article with, there's nothing to cite other than 1 mention in The Hindu. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:38, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I suggest start rewriting it and do as much as you can....Curb Chain (talk) 20:45, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You asked for it.. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 22:08, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Withdrew vote Since there are no keep votes and we are at the 7 day line this will probably get nuked so I am adding a Keep vote since the article has recently has a major overhaul in the hopes it will add another 7 day extension for others to reconsider and/or add more content. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 07:43, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * This surely is then just a vote: No germane reason to keep has been provided.Curb Chain (talk) 11:01, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Request for extension of AfD another 7 days since the article was largely restructured 5 days into it and needs additional time for others to look at it and find sources. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 20:19, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That's no reason. The restructuring was basically putting lipstick on a pig, and we don't keep articles on the off-chance that someday, someone might find sourcing out there somewhere that the rest of us failed to even find any evidence of. In the event that that should ever happen, which is exceedingly unlikely, a new article can be rewritten from scratch. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 01:26, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. His award was not the Patanjali Award of the International Yoga Federation, which might or might not be notable, but according to The Hindu was an award of the New Age International University, which seems to be a pretend organisation not accredited by the real government of Italy but only licensed by its pretend European host country Seborga, actually issuing certificates in Kolkata. – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:34, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Call to SNOW close - I think consensus has been well established.--Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 01:39, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Please don't lobby admins on how to close an AfD. You already voted above. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: I have re-examined the article after the changes, and still fine that the subject lacks notability. The "prestigious award" mentioned is a bogus award given by a sham school. I have not been able to find any credible evidence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources, and I highly doubt that such exists. I therefore still think the article should be deleted. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 04:30, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of sufficient sources to establish notability. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 12:24, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - all I can find online is the one passing mention in one WP:RS cited above; fails WP:BIO. Altered Walter (talk) 10:13, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
