 Yes, this is some of the material I knew was out there; thank you for the reference.  (I hope that anyone who joins this discussion will sign their contributions so we can keep this civil.  I am really put off by the tone, the ad hominum attacks etc. that characterize that dispute.  I hope we can rise above that here.)  At this point I am working on a response to Ramashray's comments.  If one actually goes to the articles on the characters he mentions, one will find a difference in their treatment that we would do well to follow here; e.g. There are artilces about Jesus as well as Christ. And they are scholarly and encyclopedic. Controversy is not swept under the rug or erased; it is right there out front and dealt with in as NPOV as possible.  If we work harder, then this article can rise to  wikipedia standards.  If one wants to read a treatment of Ramakrishna as a "saint" then there will be links to the Ramakrishna Mission site...  One will also be able to follow links to the scholarly "opinion" that devotees may find offensive, even blasphemous, as well.  That is what NPOV means, no?
