• Redirect or merge to RajneeshRajneesh movement. The person was very notable and still has a following, but apart from the printed publication's history, this is now only about a website which is not particularly notable. —PaleoNeonate – 23:39, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:GOLDENRULE. No Independent sources supporting as references.Accesscrawl (talk) 03:12, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about deletion. May be a case of WP:INDAFD Accesscrawl (talk) 14:45, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: No clear indication of notability evident by citations to independent reliable sources. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:00, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge or Redirect as per above. Either to Osho or - I think better - to Rajneesh movement, Ross-c (talk) 13:51, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contemporary website, Rajneesh movement doesn't exist anymore. Accesscrawl (talk) 11:28, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Rajneesh movement certainly does still exist (and the Rajneesh movement article says that). —BarrelProof (talk) 15:42, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The "Current Status" says that The movement has survived Rajneesh's death. citing Urban 2005. There is no mention of Rajneesh Movement in any of the current news except that it has transisted into Osho International meditation resort in Pune. Moreover, I can also vouch that hippie movement exist, but there is no significant happening. In a nutshell i would say, the Osho times website is contemporary, the movement is not. Redirection to by-gone era doesn't convince me.Accesscrawl (talk) 03:39, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be the one who's right, feel free to !vote delete. —PaleoNeonate – 07:06, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment As Accesscrawl mentioned this might be a case of INDAFD, I would suggest to keep a check on RS, as it has mentioned the magazine/Newspaper came in early 80's when internet was not a thing. Also WP:NOTPAPER applies. Raymond3023 (talk) 16:52, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per below. Raymond3023 (talk) 07:55, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Redirection to an outdated movement or Osho doesn't seem convincing. If osho international meditation resort page had existed a redirection to that page would be sensible, because as mentioned in the article OIMR is current publisher. For now, standalone article would be ok to keep. Notability established per WP:INDAFD. Accesscrawl (talk) 17:10, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment A redirect could be most helpful since this subject seems closely linked to the topic it writes about. There's only a little bit of information I can find that online: interview mention about Japanese and other editions, basically a directory listing, the already cited article on it shutting down print (from a non-independent publication), and this book mention of related periodicals. There doesn't appear to be enough about Osho Times itself that doesn't have to do with Osho. Hameltion (talk, contribs) 20:16, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
