Religious cruft, entirely unsourced, praising tone. If this figure is notable, WP:TNT applies. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 13:45, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

- I bet. My objection is against the article, not the topic. It would need a thorough rewrite. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 19:21, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

- Keep, AfDs is not a venue for clean-ups. As per notability; "In the course of hiswanderings Sai Baba is said tohave visited Shri Manik Prabhu of Humanabad (18171865 AD.), whois consideredto be a Dattaavatar inthe Datta Sampradaya.", "The village has the samadhis with shrines of the renowned and highly venerated saint Manik Prabhu", etc,etc., --Soman (talk) 09:48, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
- Clean up would in this case mean a rewrite. The writing is so dense that, IMO, it borders on WP:CSD#A1. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 14:44, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
- Weak keep. There is a number of Google Hits. Soman is probably right the article is on a notable topic, and should be considered an unreferenced stub, but not deleted. Comments from Indian Wikipedians would be helpful. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:16, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
