Non-notable religious leader. She fails WP:BIO standards as to substantial coverage. While she is well published and quite active as a religious leader, there's very little written objectively or reliably about her. JFHJr (㊟) 23:35, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – The hits show mostly 1) insignificant/trivial coverage; 2) her statements as a spokesperson for her organization, about the organization; and 3) her own publications, as opposed to people publishing things significantly about her. JFHJr (㊟) 23:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete: Not a notable enough item, and the whole page seems to have come about as an advertising item. The only thing they did not do was to add some 800 number to order the DVD. History2007 (talk) 23:56, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep Clearly a notable religious leader. For one example, please see Mother Maya reaches out. This article is from the The Times of India. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 21:57, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – That's some coverage, not substantial or multiple coverage. JFHJr (㊟) 22:04, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply She has also written for the Times of India Food sadhanas. There are also the many citations of her works in Google Books, and Google Scholar. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 20:01, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep As the creator of this page, I think it is worthy of being in Wikipedia. To be clear, this was the first page I have ever felt compelled to create--I studied the guidelines when I created it and definitely did not mean for it to be an advertisement for product sales. I would like the opportunity to provide more relevant details and to encourage other contributions, and also to delete information that may not be within the guidelines, if any. I welcome this kind of feedback.Wordsage (talk) 20:12, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Also profiled in [Yoga Journal]. -- Whpq (talk) 14:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note Along with Yoga Journal, she is profiled in Radio National [1], and The Times of India - this is a clear keep. Please also see her monastic name Sri Swamini Mayatitananda. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 04:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
