Notability of Yogi Khane

A tag has been placed on Yogi Khane requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — 72.75.108.10 (talk) 18:54, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest policy

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 00:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: the issue has been raised at WP:COIN#Egyptian Yoga, where you may wish to take part in the discussion. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 02:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The future is bright

Happy New Year! I'm sorry if the proposed deletion of an article you've worked hard on is stressful. I wanted to let you know that deletion isn't permanent, so there's no need to worry. Even if the article is deleted, you can request a copy of the article be put in your user space to work on from the closing administrator. So this is not the end, but only the beginning. :) There is no reason that you can't get the article and work on it to improve it and meet the concerns of other editors. Once that's done it can be moved back into article space. Of course I don't know if it's going to be deleted, but I just wanted to let you know how things work. Let me know if you have any questions. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:21, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed mostly. Personally I don't think it's salvageable in the current form; HID-IIY, to help make the Egyptian Yoga article acceptable, you really need to read, and follow, Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy (WP:NPOV). Neutrality requires that a subject be covered in a way that represents all major viewpoints, and acceptable to all viewpoints: in this case, it must be equally acceptable to believers and non-believers in the theory of yoga in Ancient Egypt. That's why statements like "The presence of yoga in Ancient Egypt shows that yoga was more widespread than we believe it" - which assume the truth of what is, frankly, a minority view - are against WP:NPOV. You should also, for neutrality, be seeking out sources that disagree, as well as independent sources (ones that describe the topic from a disinterested perspective).

Happy New Year, too ! I thank you for your advises. As I said, no matter if you delete those articles. My idea was just to show a possible way to explain some aspects of Egypt. As said Professor J.Cl. Grenier, from the University of Montpellier, there are in the field of Egyptology a lot of admitted things that were never proved. When you read or heard that Egyptian people were representing the human body as they did because they were note able to do otherwise, where are the proofs for a such interpretation ? In the technical art that they used when they built the pyramids ? They were able to built pyramids, obelisks and fabulous temples, but were not able to draw a human being seen from profile ! Or what proves that they did so, because they wanted represent every part of the body because the dead man would need every one in his after life ? Why were they doing the same for the deities ? Why haven't the Egyptian sculptors drawn in addition on thei representations every organ of the human body. It is although written in the funerary texts that the dead man will need his heart and everything. To thinking that their representations were based on a real observation of some real postures seems you strange only because it is not conventional. But it is certainly the simpliest way, the most obvious to explain why the Egyptians did so. There are sometimes things that are so obvious that nobody can see it ! But I prefer you delete this articles than to have, because of a necessity of a "neutral point of view", to add more about some mystical theories concerning Egypt that are in use in some esoterical circles, or to have to add something else about the international recognition of Khane as a yoga master, that has been since long time established. There are a lot of references concerning Khane's work and notability, even in a speech by Senghor. But maybee a Senghor's talk will be not worthy enough for you. I believe that you have not a neutral point of view when you refuse to take in consideration what an authority in the field of yoga like Blitz said about Khane. I made certainly mistakes in my articles, because I am a new user and I published the articles when it was still a draft. What I see, is that you have now an establiseh idea that nothing could change, and your point of view is definitively arrested. When you ask about Khane's notability, and I add what Blitz, the most important authority in yoga in Europe in the eighties, wrote in order to satisfy your request, you takes it in bad part. I find degradind to have to write more about Khane's notability when I know that it is in complete disagreement with his discretion and humility.

When I read between the lines some Wikipedia articles about other yoga masters, I guess that some authors were forced to prove and emphasize the notability of those masters, too. I prefer don't add something more in this field, and closing definitively this discussion that cannot have any solution in such conditions. I am not like a Don Quichotte. You are just joking with me.

And I have wasted time enough with that.HID-IIY (talk) 22:58, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
