Fair use rationale for Image:Bsst.jpg[edit]

Image:Bsst.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Merge from Bhaktivedanta Narayana[edit]

~~Merge~~ Duplicate text exists, subject does not have sufficient independent notability as per AfDs. Wikidās ॐ 07:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I, of course, oppose. There was no such consensus at the AfD's. There is sufficient material to support a separate article on Bhaktivedanta Narayana, and the easiest way to deal with duplication is to remove most of the stuff on him here, and just internally link it. I had gotten started on expanding the article on him before the recent wave of hinduism AfD's, and still plan on finishing it off. Cheers,John Z (talk) 09:31, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This seems like the noms end-run around the AfD not removing the article. Banjeboi 20:17, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
delete from this article - I have changed my view. The person is not sufficiently notable to be included in this article. Other article can be dealt with by the means of AfD of BLP new process. Wikidās ॐ 09:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. I've tidied the sub-standard English a little. The page can be improved by listing other prominent Gaudiya Math leaders. Vaisnavi (talk) 06:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Vaisnavi[reply]
