[edit] Hansadutta

Hansadutta (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This page should be deleted because it is an invasion of the privacy of Hansadutta.

• Keep. That is not a valid reason.--Michael White^T·C 05:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC) Changing to weak keep - seems to be a notable figure within the Hare Krishna movement, but judging only by the number of mentions (and some articles in whole) about him.--Michael White^T·C 06:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
• Probably Delete Is this guy notable? Perhaps its just a confused article but I read it and still don't know who the person is or why I should care. Would there be articles on each excommunicated Catholic priest?Nick Connolly (talk) 06:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and fix up OK I've changed my mind. Following the links back I see there are articles on 11 'gurus' of apparently similar status to this guy. Presumably if the other 10 people are notable enough for an article the eleventh one is also.PS How do I do strikethrough text?Nick Connolly (talk) 06:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

      • Crossed it for you. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
• Procedural keep. Not a valid reason for deletion, and I do not see any real WP:BLP issue. Though given the current state of the article, it's very hard to get a sense of how notable this person is. Resolute 06:17, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Article needs a rewrite. The eleven initiating gurus after Prabhupada's death had the same power over ISKON as the Pope does over the Catholic Church. jonathon (talk) 07:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Invalid reason for deletion. Fosnez (talk) 13:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup No valid reason to delete, subject is notable per WP:BIO and there are no other pressing concerns. Note that this can probably be snowballed at this point. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Hansadutta has notified me and requested that I find a way to remove this page. All the information on this page must have a source and the only information posted online are the negatives of his life. So even though this article does merely site a few facts, the general tone of this article is negative and thus does, in a sense, violate WP:BLP policy. If there was an elaborate detail of this person's life, then the article would be neutral, but it only shows one side, and is therefore not neutral. Additionally, Hansadutta is no-longer a part of ISKCON and is no longer a religious leader. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jivjago (talk • contribs) 02:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC) — Jivjago (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Who can say? THis guy seems to be involved in some spat in HK circles, and it's obvious that the article we have is there to settle some scores. After that, I lose interes.....Mangoe (talk) 18:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep If he was one of the 11 regional leaders, he's notable, regardless of subsequent religious splits. Whether the "general tone" is negative, requires expert attention to maintain NPOV. Nothing is asserted regarding errors that would justify removal asunder BLP. DGG (talk) 22:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Article asserts notability and is sourced. No valid reason for deletion has been given. Edward321 (talk) 00:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
