[edit] Gurudev R D Ranade

Gurudev R D Ranade (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Completely unreferenced article about a subject on whom Google finds precious few references, and a quick sample of those found none which are independent and usable. Guy

  • Delete Simply not enough evidence to base an article on, especially considering the figure this man was supposed to be. This would be a poor article even if it was backed up with substantial details from a reliable source. --Tefalstar 15:58, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Tefalstar

  • Keep Seems to be notable. Prominent figure in mysticism, author of books like History of Indian Philosophy : The Creative Period ([1]). Needs wikification, definitely.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete I wouldnt expect to find ghits, but I think we need something--this is totally unsourced. The career does sound notable, but there has to be some sort of evidence. I support being flerxible for not contemporary non-Western figures, but there has to be something. DGG 03:56, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
