K.A. Paul

I noticed a new section in the Charles Taylor article on Kilari Anand Paul. As an unusual religious figure with a large following, profiles in mainstream publications, and a significant connection to Taylor, Paul should get a moderate-sized Wikipedia article. I've created a stub. But there's more, good and bad, that needs to be added.

 * 2) Dr. Paul has been all over, seen so much and has met with just about every Third World leader one can name, as well as many within the Western world as well.  He has large "charity cities" in India that helps women and orphans and has donated a lot to good causes, including relief efforts after the tsunami in Indonesia.  He has been featured in many mainstream media publications such as The New Republic, The Washington Times, The New Yorker Magazine, The Houston Chronicle and the Associated Press and makes news in odd ways on a consistent basis.  Some of his methods and approaches to solving "world problems" are unconventional and often rub people the wrong way, but he seems to be among the few truly committed to the cause of peace and eradicating poverty.  Like him or not, Kilari Anand Paul deserves a Wikipedia article. - Juda S. Engelmayer (talk) 17:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Comments:
 * The article as I found it yesterday seemed extremely POV, loaded with terms like "leader of a doomsday cult."
