I've put a great amount of work into this article and I can say it's very long, developed, written very well and in my opinion it deserces FA status. Kkrystian 21:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose: Though I haven't gone through the entire article, it seems to have following problems casting a very cursory glance at the article:
- Lead of the article should conform to WP:LEAD.
- The article is very poorly cited.
- Convert the big picture at the end into thumbnail. DSachan 21:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose: the quality of the sources is a major problem. Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Arbitration_enforcement#User:Kkrystian. Andries 21:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose: I have added some edits to this article -- indeed I'm a big fan of Sai Baba, but I'm not sure that the article's quality is up to FA standards. Sai's life is not very well documented by academically acceptable sources, so I'm not sure how to manage the quality of scholarship that an FA article typically displays. --Nemonoman 21:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Not the way Kkrystian does it, in my opinion. Andries 21:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:SNOWBALL Oppose, refer to peer review. Uncited, insufficient WP:LEAD, stubby sections, numerous WP:MOS issues (at least but not limited to WP:DASH, WP:FN. Also needs copyediting. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose: lack of reliable sources. In addition, the article was three times nominated on Polish Wikipedia by the same author, each time without succes: [1], [2], [3]. Lajsikonik 14:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
