I will start by listing the numerous policies/guidelines that this article fails to meet: 1) WP:AUTO and WP:COI--the article was created by its subject. 2) WP:NPOV, specifically WP:PEACOCK and WP:COATRACK--the first sentence: Frank Parlato (b. 1955) is considered to be one of, if not the world’s leading authority..., an obvious use of peacock words. Also, a majority of the article is not about the subject, thereby making the article a coatrack. 3) WP:OR--the article is comprised entirely of original research. 4) WP:BIO--while minimal notability is asserted, I see no evidence that this person has been the subject of any third-party, reliable sources.

I recognize that the first three reasons I have listed for deleting this article are, individually, not generally considered to be reasons to delete an article. However, as a whole, these three problems have made the article completely unsalvageable and it should therefore be deleted. The fourth problem I have with the article (failure to meet WP:BIO), alone, is another reason to delete this article. Pablo Talk | Contributions 09:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Not notable. Claim of notability seems to be that he is the leading authority on Swami Vivekananda but Google shows three hits with both Frank and Swami Vivekanandas names. one is his wikipedia entry and the other two are his personal websites. No reliable sources. Worldfamousdirector 04:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
