The result was no consensus. I considered relisting again but with two relists proving only one new !vote, I don't see how another relist could have helped here. WP:NPASR applies. So Why 12:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I don't know why Goggle News is your criteria. Most of the sources are offline, but one of them is to a entire book about him, Rāmakṛṣṇa Paramahaṁsa: A Psychological Profile. I'm assuming he is Rāmakṛṣṇa Paramahaṁsa (I believe so, I think that "Rāmakṛṣṇa" is an honorific). An entire book... and it is published by Brill Publishers, a large international outfit with an article here... so that would meet WP:GNG right there, having a book about you published by Brill.

And there are 17 sources in the article, a fair number. Most of them are offline and I can't see them. This one is used to ref "was an Indian sadguru, yogi, mystic and a Hindu spiritual leader well known in India". It refers to "Shri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa" which I guess is him, in which case he is one name in a list of authors which the writer says influenced him. This one is used to ref "associated with the shakti cult and viewed as a perfect spiritual master of gyan, yoga and prema or bhakti". If he is the "Purnanada Parhamhamsa" mentioned here which I guess he is, he's mentioned in passing but described as the author of an important work. Not much, but mentions like this add up in my book.

He is asserted to be "well known in India" and wrote some books, also achieved perfection and visited nirvana. And these statements are ref'd, although I have to mostly trust that they're good refs. But the main thing is the book about him. Herostratus (talk) 06:08, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
