[edit] Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda
Appears to be non-notable and promotional - if one stripped the promotion and OR away I'm not actually sure what would be left, and he talk page suggests this concern is not new, nor has it been addressed. Hence, I advocate its deletion. Orderinchaos 11:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete This entry seems to be written by either an acolyte of Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda or the sect's publicity division. It is so full of swarmy, fawning descriptions that an excision of them would leave nothing but the title. The style of this article is so remote from any semblance of objective information that I am surprised that it has not been deleted in 2005. It is a blight on the standards of the Wikipedia in so far as it lowers this site's reputation as an encyclopedia in the mind of everyone who comes across it and is not a follower of Nithyananda.124.182.208.168 (talk) 12:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

- Keep -- This is currently a weak article. The references are insufficently tied to the text. The article currently has serious POV problems. But if the guy has a significant number of followers, he is notable, without regard to whether or not we personally think his philosophy is credible. Geo Swan (talk) 00:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
