Keep venerated saint in Bengal. [1] Bangla Hindustan Times, [2] Bangla Aajtak, [3],[4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. is quite developed.Redtigerxyz ^Talk 10:15, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The content added to the article is unreliable [10]. I have already discussed this at length at WP:FTN. Shri Shital Chandra Pal is not an academic publisher. These are 20-30 page self-published booklets with cartoon cover-arts [11]. The booklet has not been translated into English. No academic or historian would cite this source. It is not useful for Wikipedia. It's claims cannot be verified. Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Draft: The above sources show that an article might be possible, but as the article stands it is not ready for mainspace. The entire article is the subject's name + "was a Bengali yogi." - four words. // Timothy :: talk 12:58, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - Redtigerxyz's "sources" include a website called Learnreligions.com, a self-published book by some Sanjiv Shukla, a trivial mention in a Brill Handbook (the lone source in our article), a Bengali man mentioning the name in response to an anthropologist, a trivial mention in a journalist's profile of the state elections, etc. The Hindustan Times article is classed under the "astrology" section; ofcourse, a reliable source - how can it not be? Perhaps they ought to read WP:SIGCOV; this discussion is not about proving that Loknath brahmachari is not a hoax. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:06, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I couldn't find sources to pass WP:GNG. Suonii180 (talk) 16:30, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
