A figure in esotericism. The article is full of apparent WP:OR (tagged since 2009) and lacks any substantial references, making most content unverifiable. A Google Books search yields only apparently unreliable esoteric literature, i.e., primary rather than secondary sources. For the same reasons, the topic's notability per WP:GNG is dubious. We'd need a reliable secondary source that, as a minimum, defines the topic in order to even consider keeping this as a stub with all the OR cut out. Sandstein 19:47, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Change to disambiguation - there are three hatnote-linked pages, and a WP:DICTDEF, which is sufficient to keep a disambiguation page here. Most of the rest of the content should be removed as unsourced and non-encyclopedic. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - no evidence that this topic is notable. Possibly with more research? Looks like the content is based on books that I have no access to. Can you make a stronger case for notoriety?Sgerbic (talk) 01:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
