Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maharishi Group
My initial reaction was easily passes  due to a search bring up more than 100 news articles on "Maharishi group", the earliest being http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=%22MAHARISHI+IN+MANILA+TRIGGERS+CONTROVERSY%22&oq=%22MAHARISHI+IN+MANILA+TRIGGERS+CONTROVERSY%22&gs_l=hp.3...11469.12688.1.12797.3.3.0.0.0.0.344.438.1j3-1.2.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.EU6pk-I6sn8&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=760d5217a93fe50&bpcl=35277026&biw=1280&bih=828 Maharishi In Manila Triggers Controversy (October 8, 1984) (referring to The maharishi's group) and http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl?id=1993_1117505 Houston Chronicle March 17, 1993 (referring to a second group led by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as operating the Maharishi Heaven on Earth Development, referring to the Maharishi group in the sense of all member of the Maharishi group, and a third group led by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as operating the World Plan Executive Council. Each of these three entites could be the Maharishi Group but it is not clear which Maharishi Group would be the topic of the present article). Then I read TimidGuy's comment above and, sure enough, there are many sources for Maharishi group (lowercase "g"). Looking at the Maharishi Group (uppercase "G"), India Today, pg. 74, June 22, 1998, Spiritual Channel, by Namrata Joshi reads, "The country's first spiritual channel, Maharishi Channel, comes from Mahesh Yogi's Maharishi Group." Other sources note things like "The building has been largely vacant since the Maharishi group bought it from Marquette for $600,000 in 1994." and "The Maharishi group bought the hotel for $1.5 million in March 1995." and "The Maharishi group has its own incorporated city in Iowa called Vedic City." and "This is despite assurances from the Maharishi Group, the current owners of the plantation company that money would be given back to the investors". A recent article reads, "In January, the Srivastava brothers petitioned the Delhi High Court to win a stay on sales of land owned by various societies formed by the Maharishi Group."http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/maharishi-mahesh-yogi-rs-60000-crore-fortune/1/201925.html Then I looked at the scope of the topic of the article. The article lead reads, "''The Maharishi Group also called Maharishi group, "Maharishi Group Venture, Maharishi Group of Companies and TM organization was established by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the 1960s.''"Wikipedia articles are limited to one main topic. This article seems to have multiple main topics. |Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There appears to be a financial fluidity between the entities named in the article, to where some of them may, at times be discrete entities, and, at other times, be merely an entity having two or more names. A reason for this appears to be that the"Maharishi Group" does not exist as a consolidated group of discrete entities. There is insufficient reliable source information for a stand alone article on such a topic. As a result, even if Wikipedia editors tried with care and though to decide what is and is not part of the topic per Wikipedia's core policies, they would be unable to without original research because what is and is not include in the scope of the article is subjective rather than objective.
