Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maharishi Group
for reasons of apparent non-existence of the entity described by the article - the 'subject' is  and conjecture. Having looked into this matter in some depth, it is apparent that there almost certainly is (or at least was) a commercial concern of some type entitled 'The Maharishi Group', as referred to in India's ''Financial Express''. However, much of the article seems instead to be referring to entities of some kind for which no source can be found linking it to that particular commercial concern - or indeed to anything beyond occasional vague references to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi or to  Transcendental Meditation movement at best, and nothing more than a name with 'Maharishi' in it at worst - and this is even after removing nonsensical claims that the entire 'Group' was a "Non-profit conglomerate" based on a source that mentioned a 'Maharishi Group Venture...  non-profit benevolent society' of some kind in passing - with no indication whatsoever of any connection to any other entity. The crux of the problem becomes clear in the article lede, which states that "Maharishi Group is also called Maharishi group, Maharishi Group Venture, Maharishi Group of Companies and TM organization", but fails entirely to source this statement. The connection between the various entities seems to be based on pure , almost certainly larded with a generous layer of POV-pushing by followers of the late Maharishi. There is nothing cited to demonstrate that the entity described in the article ''exists'' as an entity, rather than as something cobbled together for Wikipedia by Google miners. As for the ''actual'' Indian commercial concern entitled 'The Maharishi Group', there seems to be little to indicate that it would meet  guidelines, and there certainly aren't sufficient either in the article, or easily locatable on the web, to construct an article on it at present
