This healer fails the notability guidelines for biographies, as no sources were found. The notability tag was recently removed without explanation, and I have restored it. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 04:46, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A promotional article created by a blocked user and subsequently edited by IPs (including a fake notice on the Talk page proclaiming a Keep conclusion to this AfD). The sources provided are postings/advertorials which come complete with the subject's contact details to arrange a consultation session. My searches are not finding better. Fails WP:BASIC, WP:GNG.

Delete While the Hindu and DNA are notable periodicals, the two articles cited (dated 2000 and 2014) appear to be advertorials. Kannadigaworld is not a reliable source.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 08:17, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Hindu article is clearly not an ad. One may dislike its contents, but this is irrelevant as far as notability is concerned. 84.73.134.206 (talk) 08:40, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It concludes with "He visits Belgaum for two days a month (2491, Income Tax Colony, Mahantesh Nagar, Belgaum. ph.No.454989.)"; provision of such contact information usually occurs only in advertorial items, i.e. items seeking to obtain business for rather than provide disinterested information about a subject.

"usually occurs only in advertorial items"? Really? Who says that? What credibility does your statement have? Are you a reliable source while the Hindu is not? 84.73.134.206 (talk) 11:38, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Apparent advertorials as sources supporting quackery. Fails WP:GNG. Jschnur (talk) 22:16, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
