yogainternational.com is not a reliable source. No source pertaining to yoga at that level is reliable. Can you show me a link where WP has discussed the sources you're describing and has determined them worthy enough to support notability? You're trying to allege one vanity fair article from 2009 is
548:
Fair enough that the HuffPo is blog-ish, however there are citations in the Los
Angeles Times, Toronto Sun, New York Times, Los Angeles Magazine, Vogue Magazine, The Hindu, The Times of India, Vanity Fair, Yoga Journal. Your rationale is perplexing - does the HuffPo negate these other references and

I'm open to being convinced that she is not notable, but I think there are sufficient sources available to show her notability. Again, the issue of
Sikhism is irrelevant. We don't even mention it in her article (aside from a see also that should probably be removed). What she puts on her business's

The name she has assumed, along with the one she gave her child, while of course it is no business of mine, are very offensive. I have never seen or known any Sikh who adopted the last name Khalsa or named their child Wahe Guru. I find these to be red flags as to the person-in-question's commitment
312:
We don't make articles on people who use faiths they are not born into, in order to promote their yoga courses and DVDs, which are clearly on display in the lede and early on in this article. Especially when the faith has fifty-fold less adherents than either
Hinduism or Islam, thereby creating a

It is very relevant. It is plastered all over the individual's page, and it has no basis. Either talk about their yoga without
Sikhism (remove it), or leave it as-is and have your argument fall flat on its face. The page is obviously using the individual's purported faith as a key
226:
There are zero reliable sources. In fact, the page seems to pass off the site "mrsikhnet" as the "sikhnet", where the latter would never mention things the former has (i.e. tout a vanity fair article; touting media coverage of self-described Sikhs is the antithesis of the

webpage does not determine whether her
Knowledge (XXG) article should be deleted. Neither does her child's name. If there is material in the article that should not be there it can be removed, but that does not affect the notability of the subject.

Coverage in multiple reliable independent sources over years. Arguments about

It seems very promotional in tone. It seems the person-in-question is using
Sikhism as a way to make money, mentioning private clientele and DVDs.

There are reliable sources in the article, the Yoga
Journal, for example, and there are many other sources available which mention her. See
