Paramahamsa Nithyananda
This page is being used for promotion of newly published books (September 2011:, ). Promotional self-interest is indicated by one of the contributors being eponymous and the other having self-identified as the photographer who shot the portrait used on the covers of the books (subsequently deleted at Commons). Cross-wiki promotion of the author's books has been speedy-deleted at Wikipedia and Wikisource. The books are self published by the author's own eNPublishers, and an extensive Google search unearthed no evidence that these writings have garnered any independent notice. — Ningauble 17:52, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. The person undoubtedly enjoys a certain degree of notoriety, but Wikiquote is not to be used for an e-publishing promotional campaign. ~ Ningauble 17:52, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom unless some evidence is provided of substantial quoting of this subject in generally available and reliable third party publications. BD2412 T 18:25, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. In light of the large number of anon "keep" votes, I attempted to research the notability of the subject. A Google books search yields 84 hits, but almost all of them are books by the subject, and none are books by other authors quoting the subject. Similarly, a search of news articles yields virtually nothing but references to a sex scandal. Of course, we could make the page into a collection of quotes relating to the sex scandal, for which the subject appears to be well-reported, but that would not go far to address quotable notability.

 *  Keep, Nithyananda is a very famous spiritual leader in South India and in parts of the US and Europe. See his Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Nithyananda for references regarding his following and works from Indian and international media. Some sections of the media have been against him - which is why you can easily find articles that misrepresent his following. While the page might need some cleaning up in terms of selecting the most important quotes etc, asking for a deletion does not make sense to me. Acnaren 15:58, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

 *  Keep, We can come up with many reasons to do things. Often, with reflection we can find different reasons and, with closer scrutiny, can determine no good reason at all for doing anything except self interest and desire.  The, as You want to call it, "cold, hard fact" is that Paramahamsa Nithyananda is the most accessible speaker in the history of time as most of us know it.  This may sound unusual but it is plainly true.  He offers more free discourses than anyone else ever has.  His offerings are free to everyone on YouTube.  This includes thousands of excerpts and hundreds of hours of free discourses.  No one else, now or before, is offering this freely and easily accessible to all.  We know some other people who are recorded a lot and how we can make fun of them ("George W. Bush") but even with thousands of recordings, Nithyananda's discourses stand up to all scrutiny.  Certainly his quotes are worthy of sharing if only from the perspective that he is a young and proven leader sharing and updating the oldest living tradition to continue the support of yoga and related practices freely to all who want to benefit from a non-discriminating practice exempt from any necessary dogma or beliefs.

 * keep Paramahamsa Nithyananda is one of the greatest Enlightend master who saves millions lives everyday through his books & his programes i know he saved mine after i read one of his books called " Guaranted solution" i found my understanding abut my worldview profoundly changed. He practically guide me to dissolve all emotions and move me to live integrated life. Nithyanandas messages to readers in a simple way yet poerful granting us we can really live free from all debilitating emotions by simple unnderstanding of our true nature.
 * keep Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Just because some bigots, who belong to one particular religion, feel that this particular person's thinking is not correct does NOT make Paramahamsa Nithyananda wrong! Reminds me of the intolerance seen during the days of Spanish Inquisition!
 * Delete. Wikiquote is not a vehicle for promoting works, regardless of how many fervent followers a person has. And I'm sure the above ballot-stuffing is obvious to regular Wikiquote editors, but take a look at "Immediate action needed", linked to from Facebook account "Nithyananda.Net" ("N!, We have an urgent need for your help. Swami’s page on Wikiquote has been listed as a candidate for deletion for no good reason. Please vote to keep this…") to see the actual call-to-arms for this blatant effort. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:12, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
