Another biography that appears to have been created because the subject is a critic of Sai Baba. The article is completely devoid of WP:Third party sources. Given how lengthy the page is, I suspect that all that can be said about the subject has been included already. Alas, that doesn't seem to put him over the bar of WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR.

there is no social relevance to this critic... delete J929 (talk) 21:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, his opinions get a bit of coverage in Tulasi's book (about 3-4 quotes and/or paraphrases), but there isn't much said about him personally. He is just introduced as a "former devotee" (and peculiarly this wasn't even mentioned in his Wikipedia bio, just like it wasn't mentioned in the bio of Priddy.) In the introduction, Tulasi thanks him (and Barry Pittard) for agreeing to an extensive email interview, which probably explains why he is quoted more often than others.

 * Delete. This author is not noteworthy. In fact all of the references in the article are from his own personal website and blog, which themselves look quite amateur and do not qualify as a recognized third party reference.
