• Delete - per my nomination, subject is non-notable. Google returns only 63 hits [1] which seem to be contained on less than 20 distinct sites. See also related non-notable page which was up for AfD recently [2] -999 13:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - this is suspected to be yet another attempt at "sneaky vandalism" per WP:VANDALISM by user:Adityanath as another of his sockpuppets. This article has major significance as a subject two huge fields of spirituality: Kriya Yoga and Nath Sampradaya. This article has probably about two dozen unique references to ancient and modern texts, and to major modern topics that bring up hundreds of thousands of Google search returns for keywords such as "Kriya Yoga", "Mahavatar Babaji", "Gorakshanath", "Yogananda", "Gorakhnath", "Nath Sampradaya", "Shiva", "Trimurti", "Yogiraj Gurunath", etc. Hamsacharya dan 15:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Dan, you are being paranoid. I had nothing to do with this nomination. To show my good faith, I will abstain from voting. —Adityanath 15:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - Too late, you already voted as 999. Hamsacharya dan 18:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. That an article was typed up with many external links or that terms used within it have numerous Google search returns are in of themselves unimpressive. Whether the subject is notable ought to be the question, not whether its inventor claims parallels to other subjects which might be. RGTraynor 17:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - please compare article on Gorakshanath (which is an alternate name for the same person) [3] which brings up 575 on google, with Shiv-goraksha [4] which pulls up 622 pages on google. If any of them should be deleted it would be Gorakshanath - for that and because my article has MANYMANY more reliable sources. This article is HIGHLY notable in Indian religion - everybody in India knows who this person is, and there's about 15 major pilgrimage sites associated with him - this figure is well known and has been written about in countless ancient texts (which unfortunately do not have representation of Google yet), and several modern ones, as is evidenced by the content of the article. There is no reason to delete this article. It is only being listed out of spite from an editor that is being investigated for sockpuppeting. Hamsacharya dan 18:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
