This overly bloated article on an obscure set of design principles followed by the Maharishi cult is bizarre to say the least, but it is more problematically being propped up by sources which are published in low-quality journals without outside notice we would normally require for tests of fringe notability. The one-off comments in mainstream sources that are quotemined in the article seem to be present for one purpose only: to make it seem like this is an encyclopedic topic when really it's just thinly veiled propaganda. We need to start weeding this WP:Walled garden, and I think starting with this article makes sense. jps (talk) 16:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete -- This appears to be a very sophisticated version of WP:NOTADVERT for a specific organisation. All of the nomination's points are also valid (GNG, primary sources, fringe, etc.). Cheers, Last1in (talk) 15:12, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
