A style of yoga of dubious notability being promoted by an SPA. Also nominating its 'guru' Larry Schultz. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 13:22, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

• Delete as not notable or redirect and mention in Larry Schultz, if that article survives. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  17:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete both of them as pure promotion for a subject without coverage, significant or otherwise. Drmies (talk) 17:19, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete both; notability is not established, and I could not find such in a search of news archive.  Frank  {{!}}  talk  19:32, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

I have added links to a number of the It's Yoga locations to refute claims of not-notable. This demonstrates market penetration in multiple countries. By the way, It's Yoga is widely regarded as the the oldest Ashtanga studio in the USA. To answer RHaworth, It's Yoga is not a style of yoga, it is a copyrighted type of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Possibly i have listed it incorrectly here?? Please help. Thank you! Jtyoga (talk) 09:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

:Yes, the articles are listed incorrectly in Wikipedia; that's what this discussion is about. Please read WP:CORP - especially the very first sentence - and WP:NOTABILITY. The existence of a business - even a dozen locations and/or franchisees of it - does not make it notable.  Frank  {{!}}  talk  13:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
