The result was delete. Few sources available to verify claims of 'holiness', and one of those sources is a near-verbatim copy of this article. Given its hibernation period of more than a year (except for vandalism), it seems unlikely more sources can be found and the article won't improve. - Krakatoa  Katie  08:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Nomination for PROD-deletion in August 2007 of an article discussed at AFD in December 2005 with an outcome of keep ... procedural nomination. The original AFD was brought with the reasoning "Vanity article on obscure person", obscurity based on a low number of Google hits. The re-nomination for deletion is accompanied with the rationale "This article has been tagged as lacking souces for over a year. Articles require independent, reliable sources verifying their content and are presumptively original research in their absence." The if it lacks sources it must be OR reasoning appears to be on the rise lately, something which I do not at all agree with. Nonetheless, the article has sat essentially unchanged - and unreferenced - since it's 12/2005 previous trip here. User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 02:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I found a few sources: Ludhiana Tribune, Hinduism Today, which seem to confirm that he is of at least some importance among Sikhs. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:29, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
