The article has no references to reliable secondary sources, only to the website of the organisation, other groups offering yoga classes, and blogs promoting yoga mats. Accordingly it fails WP:GNG - as well as being just another type of yoga, the article gives no indication of its notability. If there is anything salvageable I suggest it should be merged into Yoga or similar. BethNaught ( talk) 22:19, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- PS I have also failed to find any independent reliable sources on a Google/Google News search. BethNaught ( talk) 22:24, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
I have added three new citations to the article. Jheditorials ( talk) 01:57, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'm afraid those sources are still blogs or promotional.. If you can provide any reliable, secondary sources indicating the WP:NOTABILITY of the subject, that would be helpful. BethNaught ( talk) 09:19, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
I added 5 more citations. Jheditorials ( talk) 14:48, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
- I added another citation.

- Except for repetitions of previous citations, these include another spirituality/conspiracy theory blog, a notice on a website promoting a training course for Qi-Yo, and yet another blog. None of particular notability. BethNaught ( talk) 16:01, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
I added 4 more citations. I believe that the deletion tag should be removed and replaced with a notability tag as this article needs to be improved with additional references, but, in my opinion, has enough citations to warrant its existence. Jheditorials ( talk) 22:50, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. No evidence from third-party reliable sources that the subject matter meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 23:25, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Please provide examples of "weasel words" within the article. I have read through it again and do not see any. Thank you. Jheditorials ( talk) 21:38, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Given that you are being paid for your edits, I see no reason whatsoever why I should be obliged to give you free advice on how to promote this subject on Wikipedia. If you can't figure out for yourself what is wrong with this unencyclopaedic drivel, that is your problem. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 22:03, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- I have removed the two phrases that you mentioned on the edits page. I request that the tag be removed. Jheditorials ( talk) 23:17, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- The tags can be removed when the article meets Wikipedia standards. Which it won't without a complete rewrite. Wikipedia isn't here to provide free advertising. Frankly though, I don't know why you are bothering about tags - you need to provide legitimate third-party reliable sources to demonstrate that the subject meets our notability guidelines - as otherwise, deletion is certain.

If I were to merge this article into the Yoga article, which section would it best fit under? Jheditorials ( talk) 21:38, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- There is nothing to merge. There is nothing in the article based on valid sources. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 22:03, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

- The 'article' is clearly an advertisement. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 15:24, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Lots of citations that aren't to
reliable sources do not establish notability. Per
WP:GNG, a topic must received significant coverage in reliable sources that are
independent of the subject to be suitable for a stand-alone article. None of the sources meet the exceptions in
WP:JUSTABLOG, and the fact that there are
WP:LOTSOFSOURCES doesn't change that. --
