quick search on google books/scholar and jstor indicates this author/lecturer constantly being cited in discussions of Sri Aurobindo; constantly being cited = WP:PROF c3.


The article is not "very short", so the reason given for speedy deletion does not apply. -- Robert Weemeyer (talk) 13:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Unprodding, for reasons given in edit summary. Wikified on the basis of five-minutes acquaintance with the subject through google and jstor. There are loads of citations, which seems to meet WP:PROF, but not much online and in English that would meet the more general criteria of WP:BIO - hence the one reference so far being the equivalent of a "back flap" author bio. Half a mind to take it to AfD myself, but will leave it in the hopes that it gains the considerable attention still needed from a wikipedian interested in integral yoga and/or with access to Gujarati/Bengali sources. --Paularblaster (talk) 23:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
