Contested prod. Autobiographical vanity article about a non-notable disciple of a non-notable guru. This search has only 103 hits, some of which are irrelevant and none of which link to reliable sources. The references in the article mention him in passing at best and don't show notability. The only major contributors are the subject of the article and his puppet. andy (talk) 23:29, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I respect your opinion and your understanding of the Wikipedia approach and protocol. I nominate the article for speedy deletion. (tdharris (talk) 13:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC))[reply]

I've tagged it. andy (talk) 14:18, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Andy, I had the impression that the article was widely viewed as in violation of various Wikipedia protocols. I was expecting a number of people to contribute their views. Is it misleading to believe that you alone have objections to this article? (Kavipadma (talk)) —Preceding undated comment added 08:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]

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

Delete No evidence that the subject meets the WP:CREATIVE notability criteria as an art critic or curator; the remainder of the article is associative (correspondent, yoga disciple) but notability is not inherited. AllyD (talk) 09:09, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
