I've created a new page at the subpage provided. I don't think it violates any copyright - so how do I properly remove that copyvio on the actual 'Bihar School of Yoga' page? Also, I thought if an author is quoted and referenced, it is ok to use their work - isn't that correct? SourabhJ 07:29, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Article title

Should it be Satyananda Yoga, it appears they are one in the same. I will move it unless I get advise otherwise. (See the reference at list of yoga schools) Paul foord 16:41, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yoga Magazine

Yoga Magazine redirects here but the school's site has almost no information on it, and the currently-published Yoga Magazine is actually published in UK--shouldn't that be the article then with a historical note about this school?--dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 05:07, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources

Right, I've marked all the Bihar School of Yoga / Yoga Publications Trust, Bihar sources as primary. There are 53 of those; and 23 secondary sources, which should be enough to establish notability despite variable quality. The number of primary sources is concerning, as they're meant to be used only to establish "basic facts"; in this case, they are used to support a detailed account of many aspects of the school including its teachings, which may or may not be basic. At the least, it looks unbalanced; it was quite seriously hagiographic until yesterday's cleanup, and perhaps the mass of primary sources indicates a measure of conflict of interest, i.e. partisan editing. I've moved the 2 BHS history books to "Sources" and linked them using harvnb: these are clearly sensible for "basic facts". I think we need to cut down on the rest of the primary material, removing some or perhaps all of it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:41, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
