The subject was a head of little known Sikh organization. In the article only the lead para deals with the subject. The rest of the article deal with the organization he headed and one another incidence of a land transfer where the subject has a passing mention. Most of the verifiable sources are only related to that incidence and insufficient to prove if this person is actually notable. Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 05:47, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect. We do have a short, proper article on the clearly notable mosque Guru Ki Maseet. I have removed the long, rhapsodic, extremely tenuously relevant and awful section "Guru Ki Maseet" from Baba Kirtan Singh, thus shortening it by at least half. Perhaps Baba Kirtan Singh could be redirected to Guru Ki Maseet, where he's mentioned as one of the signatories of a 2001 memorandum and as the chief of the Nihangs? It's either that or delete, for my money. Bishonen | talk 00:08, 18 December 2014 (UTC).[reply]
- OK, I've boldly redirected as proposed, leaving the AfD notice and the text on the page. It just doesn't seem likely that this non-existent discussion will suddenly come alive. Bishonen | talk 23:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Delete while I do agree that a redirect to Guru Ki Maseet mosque solves the basic problem, I am not sure that delete isn't the best answer. I certainly disagree with preemptive action prior to the closure of an Afd. I would suggest that in the future Bishonen not take such bold action with regard to the subject of an Afd until after the Afd has closed. In passing, I believe that "Baba" is an honourific and doesn't belong in the title. --Bejnar (talk) 19:31, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
