Fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in general media. This is a book on fringe theory (pseudoscience) that failed to merit a mention in Hindu_astrology#Texts. Article also violates WP:FRINGE and WP:PSCI. The creator is blocked after multiple copyright violations. See [1] Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20211117.

  Please point me to this policy? Regardless, I am not withdrawing. I have done WP:before and I am convinced this junk is not deserved here. Venkat TL (talk) 19:51, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  No, "just because" isn't a reason to have an article. We're tying to combat misinformation, by using reliable sources. You can't prove something, it can't be kept. Oaktree b (talk) 22:51, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: This book is related to Hinduism so might be notable. Contributor008 (talk) 08:06, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  @Contributor008 not about Hinduism. book is about astrology. Venkat TL (talk) 08:42, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is about Hindu astrology Contributor008 (talk) 08:44, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Contributor008 not Hinduism. Respond with evidence How is it Notable? Venkat TL (talk) 08:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user says "keep" and when asked for the basis of the source, it does not have any kind of source/evidence. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Smita Saravade PravinGanechari (talk) 09:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify: the two comments above lead me to believe there's a reasonable chance that the topic may be notability but we currently lack the necessary sources. ––FormalDude (talk) 11:24, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. Would a move to Draft space resolve these conflicting opinions?

• Draftify It looks like this could be notable but the article is so poorly sourced and written that I can't really tell. Send this to draft and go though AfC. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 03:38, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
