This is an article on a non-notable person. No reliable sources were ever provided in the history of the article--the supposed article from the Hindustan Times does not show up for me, and hits in Google News are zero, except for the press release that User:Aapkikismat keeps adding. Clicking through the provided links also reveals that--well, consider the name Aapkikismat and then follow this link, listed under the references as "autobiography." The article presents a blatant COI, is basically an autobiography, in one of its incarnations was basically spam--but none of these things are reasons for deletion in their own right, I know. However, the burden of notability is not met: the article should be deleted. Drmies (talk) 14:22, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm sure the seer must've seen this coming. There's nothing in terms of notability per reliable sources for us to keep this article here. I love that the reference to his successful prediction, is not actually coverage of the prediction but the incident! &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:47, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The "references" are a press release, the same press release reproduced, a self-promotional article by the subject of the article, and a dead link. The article is still essentially spam, even in its present toned-down version, and there is no evidence anywhere that I can find of notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
