Article is "biography" of a "yet to be born person" said to be born between now and 2027. This article has been deleted in the past for the same reasons. There is no article for Jesus Christ, Jr. Article is simply NN. Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 20:41, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I conducted my editorial research and have to agree with Iconoclast.horizon (talk · contribs), who stated at User talk:Jasonasosa#Prema Sai Baba, "before 1963 there was no mention of Prema Sai prior to the heralding by Saytha Sai,"... "Not to mention Prof. Ruhela is referred to as an 'ardent devotee' on the Sai Baba page and Chitkara a part of the Sai Baba Educational Trust Fund." Based on sources that are not wp:reliable, it is my assertion that this article is about a Charlatan (who was involved in murder and sex scandals)¹ who assumed a 19th century guru's name to fame. Bottom line, this article does not have wp:reliable sources and fails wp:independent wp:academic sources for the concept, term, phrase and name Prema Sai Baba.

Delete: Again, this article has no merit and no source outside of Sathya Sai Baba predicting his own future incarnation. All subsequent mention has been by promotion- based devotees. The article once listed as a biography does not qualify as such nor does it qualify as notable for mention on Wikipedia. Article has been deleted previously for the same reasons.

Note to closer I have refactored the above nomination to include the standard deletion templates. The nomination was also not listed in a daily deletion log, so I am listing it now. Please consider the time of this comment as the time of initial listing for closing purposes. Monty ₈₄₅ 15:20, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
