This is an incomplete list of the arguments used in this discussion (permalink). I've put my commentary between and. Invalid arguments have been crossed out.

Proposal is that 'KJ articles should be deleted', because:
 * No educational value
 * POV (invalid argument: Wikiversity has no NPOV policy)
 * "contain negative/insulting comment against a country"
 * "the quotes [...] only reflect personal opinions, beliefs, or biases"
 * KJ is no "world class scholar/critic/writer" (more or less related to the 'misrepresentation' mentioned below)
 * Quotes without context or explanation:
 * "does not write anything to explain it" (valid argument)
 * "not scholarly analysis but merely personal opinion or belief, reflecting an utter lack of deep thought or analysis"
 * Contra : "psychological effort to understand something"
 * Majority supports deletion (invalid argument: Wikiversity is no democracy)
 * Misrepresentation
 * "unfair to misrepresent a text as important as the Gita with only the attacks of [someone like] Joshi"
 * "About Bhagavad Gita there are thousands of much stronger analysis, explanation, commentary etc..."
 * Vanity/promotional
 * "seem intended to be vanity and promotional rather than educational" (valid argument for as far as the intention is 'succesful', i.e. if the pages are actually promotional instead of educational, but perhaps seeming promotional is also more than enough reason to delete)
