Publicity

[edit]

This article is transparent self-publicity. It reads as a CV or a publisher's promotional flyer. It is unfortunate for Wikipedia's aspirations to be considered as an actual encyclopaedia that is is susceptible to such marketing subversion.

Well, thanks for your opinion. However, I created the article, one of around 100 on yoga asanas, yoga schools, yoga books, historic hatha yoga texts, and so on, and I don't work for or get favours from any of them. I have no idea if Lee even knows this article exists; she certainly hasn't had any hand in editing, nor has she been in contact with me directly or indirectly, other than my reading the cited materials about her.
As for reading like a CV, any biographical article of course has to describe early life and career; this article does so neutrally per WP:NPOV. You might observe that a substantial part of the article is a 'Reception' section in which various independent sources, per WP:RS (and indeed per WP:N), comment publicly on Lee's life and work: it would be a rare CV indeed that did that.
