[edit] Brahman-Atman Yoga

This article reads like poorly written advertising. It makes grandiose claims regarding identity with the key personages of yoga history. Unless it can be presented with useful external links it appears of little value - non-encyclopedic. Already has POV notice. Paul foord 13:35, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. No opinion. —Cryptic (talk) 01:43, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. 1,060 Google hits, and seems to be inluded in loads of wiki articles as well. The Minister of War 06:38, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Brahman-Atman Yoga is on the template:yoga so thus all the wikipedia article links. 1,060 Google hits includes about 500 wikipedia mirrors (found 583 for search "Brahman-Atman Yoga" -wikipedia), many of the others are also wikipedia mirrors if you have a look and an awful lot of dead links.

    • I counted 57 links when it was on the Yoga template. When I took it off, the count didn't change for me even when I cleared my buffer, even though I know it's not showing on many of the listed pages in the count. Maybe the count is showing correctly for someone else. — RDF ^talk 16:03, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
      • Removing a link from a template won't update the whatlinkshere until the articles it was on are null-edited (or edited). I've done so in this case, and the only article remaining that links here is List of yoga schools. —Cryptic (talk) 18:59, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
        • Thanks Cryptic, that's funny! Apparently, all the self-wikireferencing makes this article seem to be more noteworthy than it may actually be. Also, I think inclusion on that sole remaining list was part of how this article managed to get nominated. :-) — RDF ^talk 19:52, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete for reasons stated by Paul foord, plus NPOV notice since 03/05 and additional requests this month for cleanup by knowledgeable editor have gone unheeded (Talk:Brahman-Atman Yoga). — RDF ^talk 20:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

• Comment, this is verifiable... I've got at least a couple of book at home that reference it. I tend delete though because of the unheaded cleanup issue. I'll see if I can cobble together enough from the books I have to write a decent NPOV article... Can't make any promises though; I have not picked up these books since college.--Isotope23 20:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks. If you can substantiate the statements, that would be enough for me to change my vote. — RDF ^talk 23:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

• Comment at best stubify, most of article is grandiose in its claims, would probably edit down to a stub - the external link is actuslly to a Kriya yoga not this school. See the discussion at Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga as an illustration of problems of overlap Paul foord 12:09, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
