Delete Heavy COI when i first saw it come through New Pages, IP also edits pages from the area where this woman's Enclave is. Google Scholar Pulls up her own works Checked Melton Lewis nothing. Tagged with multiple issues, one month passed no improvement added PROD. Kyle1278 removed PROD recommended formal AFD. Weaponbb7 (talk) 04:47, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

issue here is i dont see her name in any of those, Whether or not her movement is notable or not if there are sufficient RS for an article on her movement we can incorporate there . we have several articles that limit it to just the movement and the founders without a fork. Not being in Melton and Lewis's books is usually a good threshold for notability of an individual in the New religious movement field. It seems you argument is too is she is notable because she is a disciple of a notable individual? My mentor is Nicholas Honerkamp but that does not mean i am notable if i go Start A Cultural resources management firm that gets in the paper?

    • Comment I don't understand what is requested for notability. She has studied with Swami Sivananda from Rishikesh, she is one of the first women Swami to come to Canada. She started an ashram and wrote about 10 books, she appeared on some tv show and was teaching about yoga and the mind during her time. As I realized there is not much trace of her on the internet - and by the way the emissaries of the Divine light is not affiliated with her at all. What type of content is needed to prove her notability ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.194.70.105 (talk) 18:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Why keep unsourced artciles that are in effect are just ads. Wikidas© 18:09, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Answer to IP (COI notice Board) -- If a biography of her was published by a reputable publisher, if her books were reviewed by some reputable journal or if she was the subject (not mentioned in passing) of a number of good articles, excluding articles by the followers, that would make her notable. At the moment she is not. Wikidas© 18:39, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
