[edit] Aaadietya

Dear Friends,

I am Aaadietya Pandey. I have been recognized as the youngest Astrologer-Numerologist world over by Hindustan Times (a famous international daily).And am awaiting a Certificate from Guiness World Records for my Infinity Calendar theory. They will certify me as the fastest human calendar.

As far as the page on Wikipedia is concerned, it is not a self publicity because it has not been done by me but my followers and disciples.

I am a columnist for Hindustan Times and the Times of India, so there is NO PORN or VULGAR matter on my page.

I am a spiritual person and have no inclination towards SKEPTICS as pointed out by JoshuaZ.

For those of you who might be having problem understanding Hindi, i would like to inform that neither the page on wikipedia nor my website contains terms in Hindi which cannot be understood. Only the honorary title awarded to me mght not be decipherable. It is 'Ved Vaachaspati' which meand the person who is a laureate in vedic sciences, a person who has an indepth knowledge of vedas.

Yes, there are not many pages linked to my name Aaadietya because I have recently corrected my spelling as per numerology. Originally it was Aditya" so my contributions to the world wide web were earlier published under the head Aditya.

Lastly, I am really glad to see so active members here on Wikipedia and I think my name must not be made an issue to discuss upon. So I request that this entry might surely be removed if still my dear friends do not think it appropriate.

God bless!

Vanity about non-notable astrologer. Name returns 38 google hits JoshuaZ 22:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Hmmmmmmm... Perhaps a search in Hindi characters would reveal many more results? If the article is verified and is true, I'd say he's probably notable enough (barely.)
• Weak delete I'm leaning towards thinking he's non-notable, but am open to being proven wrong. — Adrian Lamo ·· 00:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment seems to have actually been mentioned in the Times of India [1] sorry, this link seems to pop up a "print" dialogue. Other references, when tracked down, seem to be websites and forum postings. I think we might be hitting a language barrier here. --W.marsh 00:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I may need to withdraw this nomination pending investigation. Does anyone here know anyone who knows enough Hindi to check this out? I'm slightly skeptical that the person is that significant because most of the major Indian astrologers/yogi/whatevers show up on a fair number of the skeptic pages (like randi.org ) and this person shows up on none of them. If someone can convince me this is simply a language issue, I will withdraw the nomination. JoshuaZ 01:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep can be used by someone to prove a point of something or as opinion of someonePatcat88 03:42, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm afraid I don't understand your reason. Could you clarify please? JoshuaZ 16:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Patcat88. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 15:16, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete - veiled advert. As for the name, it should be Aditya, a common name in India, but it appears that he is spelling it differently for numerological reasons. btw, I too don't understand what Patcat88 is refering to. --Gurubrahma 16:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Googling for Aditya + Astrology shows up 60,000 hits or so, but none for as far as I looked(first three pages) seem to be about this person. JoshuaZ 16:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• I'm starting to think this is a self-created vanity article. The article creator's user page has a link to this astrologer's website, and the username is on the website. It makes the validity highly questionable. So I'm going to say delete.
• Can't find any reliable references, so I have to say delete as possible hoax. Stifle 11:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
