Delete. Non notable person. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

:I lean slightly in favor of deletion. I created the article (in a different, earlier form) because somebody had inserted bio into the article Kripalu, where it was an irrelevant digression.

:Can't find high-quality sources on this person, and there were some very questionable edits, possibly made by fanatical devotees. I've abandoned ship.

:On the other hand, am philosophically an "inclusionist," and don't see harm in having available a lousy article about an obscure person.

Delete. Not an expert here, but complete lack of sources to back up any claims. All the refs are from http://www.lakulishyoga.com/ and its subpages. — Timneu22 · talk 12:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Delete brief mentions in a couple of books doesn't meet the notability guidelines. Lustralaustral (talk) 22:27, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Only one of the books is a brief mention. He goes by three different names: the name of the article, Bapuji, and Swami Kripalu. Also, it's four books and the fifth reference is a page that is devoted to Swami Kripalvanandji. Joe Chill (talk) 22:51, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
