• Redirect to Siddha YogaTheRingess (talk) 16:18, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: Atleast two published books as seen here and here, mention details about this ashram. Even NYTimes has an article mentioning it. -- ¿Amar៛^{Talk to me/My edits} 17:17, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Note - mentioning it is not the same as having an article on. Sfacets 20:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Reply - The only criterion for notability is whether reliable sources can be found about the article in question, which have been found per my previous message above. Material from those sources can be used to expand the article. I see absolutely no reason to delete it -- ¿Amar៛^{Talk to me/My edits} 05:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

• KEEP or Merge with Siddha Yoga: If reliable sources mention the ashram, as stated above, then it meets the criteria and should be kept. It contains useful info which would be valuable to anyone seeking more info about Siddha Yoga. It can also be expanded at any time and, in fact, I was just thinking of doing it myself. There's no reason to delete it when it can easily be merged with Siddha Yoga, if it is not considered notable enough on its own. Sardaka (talk) 11:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. This Ashram has made the news in New York State. I read the NY Times article when it appeared, and again just now. Arguably, it is about this ashram and other similar ones. However, there has been lots of media attention, you just need to find it. Bearian 17:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
