[edit] Gururaj Ananda Yogi

Gururaj Ananda Yogi (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Article previously deleted per WP:CSD A7. Founding the FISU (Foundation for International Spiritual Unfoldment) appears to be a claim of notability. Was tagged again with {{db-bio}}, tag removed. A procedural nomination. Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Two similar and related articles, lacking the claim to notability of having founded FISU, are bundled with this nomination:
Again, a procedural nomination. Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Regarding those articles
Hello! So far the only notability regarding these persons is that they founded / leading FISU (Foundation for International Spiritual Unfoldment). These people, organization and their functions concern a certain thousand people, so that's why they are considered notable. They are also responsible for authoring books and other publications, but this list is being compiled and will be added. Same goes with news / media clippings. Please note that these articles are rather young and content is being added gradually, as soon as the certain community of contributors are mobilized. Thanks and Happy New Year 2007!

  • Previously deleted, and nothing so far to justify them returning. An organisation concerning a thousand people is not necessarily notable (there's that number on my train or in my street), but since deletion authors have had a chance to get their act together and provide evidence of notability BEFORE remaking articles. Until that is done, I favour deletion. Emeraude 16:40, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Comment Alright, time will tell :) Cheers! MarekTT 17:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Chris 01:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment Alright, whatever then. Personally I disagree, but if someone wants to go ahead and delete it, it's fine and understandable. Anyway, it will be rewritten in a way that is proper for wikipedia, so either being online or deleted, it's mostly fine. So, I favour whatever :). And happy new year! (PS: What is better to start our first day of the year? - Checking out wikipedia, of course! :))) Cheers! MarekTT 04:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect to FISU. The people mentioned are not noteable enough to warrent having an article on Wikipedia. Davidpdx 01:02, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment Greetings all, thanks for your time and effort into this discussion. A user friend staple across this: ::http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gururaj_Ananda_Yogi and was cool enough to let us know in the talk page. And it seems it has been there for a while. I should have made this search earlier and simply having it translated from Spanish to English and other languages (since the article was already accepted in the Spanish Wikipedia). I notified some Spanish speaking wikipedia users and they promised that they will take over soon; and if anyone else knows Spanish and English is most welcomed to contribute! :)) For the time being, I just added a link of the corresponding Spanish wikipedia article in the English one.
About the rest of the people, Rajesh Ananda and Jasmini Ananda, yeah, their articles are currently poor in content and citations. I will personally will not remove them (as I disagree), but thankfully a friend told me that he will take over; he found list of books that they written by them (and their ISBNs) and other information and stuff so to increase their notability. He also told me that he will gain access to news clippings archives from newspapers, magazines and television stations and use them too. well, good luck and hopefully soon we will see some quality contributions, until then, be well and c u laser, MarekTT 16:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
