Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tej Gyan Foundation
I just went through and cleared out the useless bits (e.g., references that don't actually mention the subject, links to bookstores, non-existent categories, etc.) to see what was left. All I found was a lot of twaddle about "knowledge beyond carnal knowledge and ignorance, beyond knowing or not knowing" and such-like. The only solid cite I found was http://www.indianexpress.com/news/SRK--s-Happy-Thoughts/876012/ SRK's Happy Thoughts from ''The Indian Express'', and even that isn't even about the Foundation as such. I don't have a high opinion of the one from ''The Times of India'' as it doesn't have an author, which usually means it's just a reprint from somewhere else (such as a wire story or press release). Zero http://www.google.com/search?q=%22tej+gyan+foundation%22&tbm=nws&ved=0CBMQ_AUoBA Google News hits and zero http://www.google.com/search?q=%22tej+gyan+foundation%22&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ei=B12eT-iEJqqniAKbsMmLAQ&ved=0CBAQpwUoBQ&biw=1193&bih=768 Google News Archive hits. Virtually all the http://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22tej+gyan+foundation%22 Google Book hits appear to be by the founder of the group, which makes them |self-published sources. I'm not impressed by what I've been able to find (little to nothing), and this article is such a load of advertising ("Well-known personalities from all walks of life… have participated in programs organized by the foundation") and double-talk ("the mission of creating a highly evolved society through all-round self development of every individual that transforms all the facets of their lives") that it doesn't help, but rather, makes the situation look even worse.If you really feel the need to try to save this sad thing, start with a completely blank slate, and then add ''only'' information you can get from |secondary |reliable sources. My guess, based on my searching: you won't find enough to support an article
