Gurudev R D Ranade

Completely unreferenced article about a subject on whom Google finds precious few references, and a quick sample of those found none which are independent and usable. Guy

Delete Simply not enough evidence to base an article on, especially considering the figure this man was supposed to be. This would be a poor article even if it was backed up with substantial details from a reliable source. --Tefalstar 15:58, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Tefalstar[reply]

Keep Seems to be notable. Prominent figure in mysticism, author of books like History of Indian Philosophy : The Creative Period ([1]). Needs wikification, definitely.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I wouldnt expect to find ghits, but I think we need something--this is totally unsourced. The career does sound notable, but there has to be some sort of evidence. I support being flerxible for not contemporary non-Western figures, but there has to be something. DGG 03:56, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
