No good references since 2012. No referenced evidence of notability. I also removed a lot of essaylike hagiographical writing from the text. If this person is as notable as the article claims, we would expect clear evidence from verifiable third-party reliable sources to have been added some time in the past four years. If the high-quality references can be brought. this might be saveable. - David Gerard (talk) 19:34, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Withdrawn - Cheers to those who dug up the prima facie notability - David Gerard (talk) 09:46, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

- Keep The Bibliography section of the article includes a link to a detailed biographical profile in the Encyclopedia of Hinduism. I see that as a strong claim to notability, which can be transformed to an inline reference in a matter of minutes. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 21:10, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. I added three references, two of them to encyclopedias, and one to a publication by the University of Chicago. This individual is notable, it's just that no-one has put in the effort to put in citations. Perhaps a higher proportion of relevant reliable citations are offline for this type of topic, than for some other topics. But inclusion of biographical articles in multiple encyclopedias confirms clearly that the individual is notable. --Presearch (talk) 21:55, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
