I find no coverage in online reliable sources. Doesn't appear to meet the general notability guidelines. Perhaps there's more in another language, but based on the spelling used in this article, even verifiability is a problem. —Largo Plazo (talk) 23:14, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a matter of policy. It fails verification in a reliable source. --Bejnar (talk) 23:06, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. The whole idea about it being "an ancient, European Tantric method" is in lack of better words far out. As far as I know there has been no historical European analogue to Tantra. From all I can tell this is a hoax: no sources prior to 2010 mentions melerigamy or melerigami. A few sources have the Sanskrit spelling "मेलेरीगामी". But then it would not be "invented in Europe". If "मेलेरीगामी" was a genuine word we would get hits on older literature, and we don't. The few sources after 2010 are not sufficient to build an article. -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 02:16, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
