[edit] Bodhitharta

Almost completely incoherent. Appears to be a non-notable religion. Only a few Google hits, and most are troll posts on Christian forums. eaolson 05:10, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

  • It is a real religion. It has it's own holy book-- How is what I wrote incoherent? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Witnessthereal (talk • contribs) .
    • Comment. If this is a significant religion, someone, somewhere, must have written about it online, even if just in a critical fashion. Can you provide such a reliable source? Remember verifiability is required for Wikipedia articles. As for incoherent, you say "Like wise there are no "gods" only God." Is that a roundabout way of saying that this is a monotheistic religion? As for it's holy book, is it this Witness the Real in the article? I can't find that book anywhere. My university's library is one of the largest in the US, and doesn't have this book in the stacks. eaolson 13:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • The article seems to be either a vanity or attack article. Either way, the person still isn't notable, thus delete.--TBCTaLk?!? 05:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete "incoherent" is a nice way to put it. Opabinia regalis 06:02, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete due to lack of reliable sources. --Metropolitan90 06:50, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. MER-C 07:41, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete POV, sources, non-encyclopaedic. ColinFine 12:08, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. --Charlesknight 13:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Asana is the sanskrit word for seat and used most commonly to mean "yoga posture." It doesn't mean "a group of people called the Asana". And there's no Asana (the real kind) that I can find called "Bodhitharta." One neologism, one misused word, one non-notable, unverifiable religion. Dina 17:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom.--Jersey Devil 17:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

An encyclopedia should have well-noted as well as obscure information. Asana Bodhitharta is also a songwriter and composer. Also, Asanas is not a mispelling nor a misnomer of any kind. The word posture or seat come form the root word of Grace. Do not delete article.--Witnessthereal 18:19, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I got my signature from the book and part of the first page of the book is on my page, I think that is reliable enough.

Well, reliable isn't the point, verifiable is. This issue of where you got your signature isn't really relevant (I got mine by being named after a great aunt.) And if the book is copyrighted, you probably shouldn't have the first page on your userpage. What is the publishing information on the book? That might help, a bit.

There simply is no reason to delete something that is true and not harmful perhaps you should do some research and merge it or something but to delete my article would be unfair to me as a contributor. There are tons of things I have never heard of here but that doesn't mean they don't have a place here. This information is both reliable and verifiable there is access to the free e-book on the IslamMessge.com website. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.17.230.238 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 17 September 2006.
