Rajan Sankaran

Nominated him for deletion because I hoped it would spur people on to rework the article - it's pretty awful at present, and really stagnant. Also, you're the first to point out his notability in any coherent way =) Adam Cuerden 19:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Sankaran is actually a pretty big gun in the homeopathic world. :=) Abridged 20:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Robin Murphy

A tag has been placed on Robin Murphy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Misplaced Pages. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hatch68 21:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

For the record, this page was up for about 5 minutes before it was deleted. It was a stub. It did indicate how the subject was notable--as an author of reference books that are considered to be standard in Homeopathy. Abridged 21:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Arr... Actually, there was an old version, which is likely why it got deleted so quickly. The old one was a straight advertising piece. Also made claims about him being the most widely-known teacher of homeopathy that weren't supported by any source or popularity check I could come up with, at least that dealt with him having a relatively common name. ('"Robin Murphy" Homeopathy', with quotes around his name to remove chance hits, gets only 873 hits, for instance.) Is he really notable? Adam Cuerden 09:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
