Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarita Shrestha
Let me clear-up some confusion about sources. They seem to fall into 3 categories, none of which are acceptable  that demonstrate notability: (1) faculty pages like http://www.mountmadonnainstitute.org/ayurveda/faculty.html 7, http://www.rmiya.org/index.php/index.php?i=faculty 8, http://www.kripalu.org/presenter/V0000753/sarita_shrestha 10, and http://www.saritashrestha.org/about.html 11 &ndash; this type of material is nothing more than  and has never counted toward notability, (2) web pages or local or narrow special-interest publications like http://layogamagazine.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=367&Itemid=44 1, http://www.metroactive.com/metro-santa-cruz/08.16.06/dr-sarita-shrestha-0633.html 3, http://www.ayurnepal.com/en/resource-room/127-ayur-info-3rd-issue/475-ayur-info-3rd-issue.html?start=1 5, http://www.yogachicago.com/nov08/drsarita.shtml 6, and http://home.earthlink.net/~holistic-health/devima/index.htm 9 &ndash; these are generally not considered to be Wikipedia:Reliable_source_examples|authoritative nor to show general notability, and (3) the MSNBC source http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21363099/ns/health-alternative_medicine/ 2, which turns out to be just a few talking points, like Shrestha "helps women discover their prakuti, or 'true nature,' so she can design an appropriate daily and seasonal dietetic and behavioral regimen". This article is simply a collection of such talking points from several dozen alternative-medicine healers. The substance of ref 4 is not clear, but on balance, I would say the references given in the article are ''way'' short of what we conventionally expect for a BLP. Respectfully
