As A nominator I withdraw this AFD Shrikanthv (talk) 13:01, 4 January 2013 (UTC) Does not meet notablity criteria Shrikanthv (talk) 23:21, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

article creator's comment: one of the most reliable "scholarly studies" on Swami Vivekananda. widely used in research works. In Wikipedia articles of Swami Vivekananda too we have cited this book multiple times. --Tito Dutta (talk) 23:37, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

comment : please note that the main idea of moving this to AFD was to find if it is really notable according to wikipedia, do let us know if any notability or proof exists in saying "most reliable" and " widely used" , if any body come up with any other source of notablity interms of citation in newspaper or other authors, I will with draw AFD myself.

the google books link above may give some idea! --Tito Dutta (talk) 08:34, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Certainly, Swami Vivekananda is notable. As such, it is my opinion that any reliable third-party book that examines his life and philosophy should be deemed to meet the broad notability criteria of Wikipedia. Perhaps this won't be the most frequented article on Wikipedia, but it still enhances Wikipedia to have a short article describing a significant book about a personality of Vivekananda's stature. --Abhidevananda (talk) 17:03, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

comment :please note that this AFD is not against Swami Vivekananda or his notablity but the notablity of the article about a book about him, which when searched, you may find hundreds and is it fine to add thousands of them with just mentioning they are widely used or known ? Shrikanthv (talk) 22:45, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For Wikipedia, notability is NOT INHERITED. This book needs to have independent reviews to be considered notable. LK (talk) 04:01, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I agree with the above: any reliable third-party book that examines the life and philosophy of such an historical figure should be deemed to meet the broad notability criteria of Wikipedia.--Cornelius383 (talk) 17:27, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
