Per WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO. All Primary sources and press release, even creator have included his own article link as reference. ~Moheen ^{(keep talking)} 05:59, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, Sources are about celebration not notability and they don't fulfill criteria of WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. -Intakhab (talk) 19:15, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was on the fence about this for a while, and I don't necessarily feel strongly that the article should be deleted. All things considered, though, I think that's the very close call that has to be made. As was mentioned above, the sources are mostly about modern day celebrations and a school - many of the English language sources don't even mention the subject of this article at all. This one belongs in the enormous pile of South Asian religious figures who are obscure even in the region but whose fans attempt to exploit Wikipedia as part of their social media campaigns.

Weak delete - All of the sources that are best about Bhanderi seem to be closer to blogs or forum posts than truly reliable sources. Blogs can be RS, so if anyone who knows more about the authors of those posts can speak to their expertise, I'd be willing to reconsider. But as mentioned above, the authors seem to be primary interested in promotion, and thus not improve what doesn't look like a great case for reliability. There are also some more reliable sources that cover urs for Bhanderi. I don't think articles about urs alone should be the basis of an article, but can definitely help the article satisfy WP:V. But I don't think there is enough reliable source material on his life to pass WP:NPOV. An alternative possibility could be to focus on his legacy more, perhaps a good stub can be written on that basis, I'm not sure. Smmurphy^(Talk) 16:42, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
