This is now a Spoken Article

I strongly feel this article is in dire need of revision. Not only is it missing information that was presented in the Netflix Documentary "Tiger King: Murder, Madness, and Mayhem", it also contains several mechanical errors that would likely prevent most people from reading it with any degree of fluency. My recent contributions to Wikipedia have been in the form of the spoken word rather than the written word, but with permission from the appropriate contributors to this page, I would be happy to correct some of the errors that I noticed.

Given Name

According to my reading, Mahamayavi Bhagavan is his birth name and Kevin a moniker. Shouldn't Mahamayavi Bhagavan not be in quotes and Kevin in quotes? Reluctant to make change without consensus due to the focus on this article. - dashiellx (talk) 12:57, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reliable source that refers to him as "Kevin"? —BarrelProof (talk) 09:34, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question for ZooFriend

Hi ZooFriend. I noticed you've been working on getting this article created since at least January 2017, are supplying images for the article that you are claiming ownership of (e.g. the photo you took of Bhagavan Antle and a tiger on 2020-05-21), and some of your edits have been reverted for being considered too promotional and relying heavily on primary sources. Do you have any conflicts of interest you would like to disclose? 198.52.130.137 (talk) 22:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like publicity blurb

The encyclopedia value of this page is near zero. It present like publicity blurb not NPV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.188.53 (talk • contribs) 10:15, September 18, 2020 (UTC)

True. But that is the nature of the beast (pardon the pun). With articles such as historic events, content is presented and the tone is constructed in a NPOV based on the sources that provide the information; much like notable figures that are not controversial in nature (pardon the pun again) such as an author, whose primary career can be found in their works and critical analysis of such. With BLPs like Antle, unfortunately, most of the draw and allure for his notability for inclusion is based on sensationalism found in public interest on a vast commercial scale. You will most likely find a trivial expose on him in a supermarket check-out magazine than a full length in-depth feature in National Geographic. On account of this, the more shocking blurbs sell the most magazines; and this is what presently makes up most of Antle's coverage. Not to mention, his profession is some what of a controversy to some. That being said, if you have reliable sources that can provide a better NPOV for the article; you are more than welcome to help make it a better piece of writing and more encyclopedic by contributing. Thanks. BTW, don't forget to sign your name with 4 tilde {~} at the end of each posts. Maineartists (talk) 16:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Given Name

According to the new Netflix documentary, Kevin is his birth name, and he and his first wife (who is still alive) changed their names at Yogaville, VA, as part of their one month yoga retreat. 2604:2D80:5F80:F000:0:0:0:697C (talk) 20:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
