[edit] Dadashri

Delete non notable individual fails to meet WP:BIO. No claim to notability made in article or verifiable citations given. Strothra 19:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep I vote for keep, because

1) he is listed on Answers.com! [1] That in and of itself is PROOF that he deserves to be here. 2)he founded a new Hindu Sect Akram Vignan, article on the way, assuming this article doesn't get deleted. 3)he appointed a succesor. I don't think this organization is going to go away anytime soon 4)the organization has their own temple/compound in India [2]; 5)large number of TV broadcasts and round the world traveling and teaching by members of organization; [3] 6)he is big enough to be mentioned in Sarlo's Guru rating, nobodies don't get listed there- only those with somewhat of a following [4]; 7)This organization has a monthly magazine [5] 8)Whether it is true or not, he claims that he had the power to give anyone a taste of enlightenmentMoksha, and that he passed that power onto his succesor via a special ritual. 9)This was my first article I ever wrote all by myself (btw #1 is a joke, #9 is true and a joke).

• Comment Answers.com is worthless. They copy all the articles from Wikipedia. That article even says, right at the top, that it came from here. Fan1967 19:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I did know that (hence my comment, #1 is a joke). Sethie 20:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Trying to have an article on every guru would be like an article on every priest or rabbi. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
