Keep. Discussed here, although I'm not familiar enough with Hindu historiography to know whether he was a god or an historical figure or both. WillOakland (talk) 07:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing this reference. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 07:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not completely familiar with the subject as well. I was unable to find sources for which Gusaninji was the subject of any scholarly study. I will continue to look for sources also as the subject might be notable if/when sources are provided. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 07:38, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The name Gusainji had few matches, and in the draft of the article I read, Gusainji was mentioned as the son of Mahaprabhu, who I mistook to be a name for Caitanya. I apologise for this oversight. As WillOakland has pointed out above, a search for Vithalnath reveals a lot of sources via a google books search; Krishna: A Sourcebook, By Edwin F. Bryant, Devotional Literature in South Asia: Current Research, 1985-1988, Singing Krishna: Sound Becomes Sight in Paramanand's Poetry, By A. Whitney Sanford, Bhakti Studies, By Greg M. Bailey, Ian Kesarcodi-Watson, and The Poetics of Devotion: The Gujarati Lyrics of Dayaram, By Rachel Dwyer. The subject is mentioned in these references as the son and successor of Vallabhacharya.

At the point the article might only need a renaming and rewritting. Any thoughts? Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 13:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but rewrite. Article mixes assumes religion to be historical facts. --Bigvinu (talk) 21:37, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Though as of now is a POV, a glorification; it is about notable Vallabha Sampradaya person. A rewrite is needed.Redtigerxyz (talk) 03:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
