Keep Links above give sufficient references to his works being cited in WP:RS to back up his notability. Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 07:21, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you both work for the same company: him and Cinosaur, thus you are anxious to keep him on. Anyone who is impartial that can cast a vote? BTW there is no way to suggest that just because someone is being "cited" he is passing the bar. -- (User) Mb (Talk) 10:41, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can we please steer clear of guesswork and go by the rules here? Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 12:42, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you and User:Gaura79 work in the same company cannot be discarded if this vote to be taken seriously in this case, because this person clearly does not meet the required level of coverage to write anything more than two sentences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Cinosaur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gaura79 --(User) Mb (Talk) 14:15, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm intrigued as to what exactly the above links to special contributions of User:Gaura79 and mine were supposed to reveal, but, again, guessing about personal identities is not helpful for Wikipedia discussions, and may even be in violation of WP:NPA. However, editors are most welcome to take their suspicions to WP:COIN as they feel fit. But what cannot be discarded here is the fact that the person in question is referred to in WP:RS as a leading reformist of ISKCON and a prominent religious scholar [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] who spearheaded the reform movement that significantly shaped ISKCON's governance in 1980s and whose stance on the position of gurus, women, and GBC within ISKCON often formed official attitudes towards these key issues. That is, he is notable per WP:ANYBIO as having "made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field".
