PROD removed by author. Some sources exist, it is a popular hindu prayer, but this violates
WP:INDISCRIMINATE as it is simply a copy/paste of the untranslated prayer lyrics. Polyamorph (

Comment I am not the author of the page. I moved it from the draftspace where it was moved from mainspace because it didn't have any sources. Also wanted to give reference of
Hanuman Chalisa - a similar prayer for a different god. This page has potential to be elaborated as broad Hanuman Chalisa. We can perhaps draftify again. Won't be in favor of deletion.
WP:WHATABOUT is a weak argument here, the important thing is whether sources exist which would allow this to be expanded sufficiently beyond a simple listing of the verse. Some sources exist sure, but I can't find any which provide any real in depth coverage. I would support a re-draftification if users can demonstrated in-depth sources exist and a willingness to work on it (pointless re-drating if it isn't then worked on as will be automatically deleted in time anyway).

Delete there are not sources giving indepth enough coverage to justify an article.

Comment - Well, there are multiple books about the verse
[1], I think particularly this one is more relevant maybe
[2]. Now that being said, there are no sources to add more information about let's say - history, who wrote it, how it became popular etc. So even if I will work on it, the best I would be able to do is add the
Hunterian transliteration and then actual translation in English. If that's acceptable, draftify it and I will work on it. otherwise, delete.
Delete. What is the reason for a separate article, even though this is a known verse???

Delete. Could not find much to support any form of notability.

Delete - this completely fails everything that is outlined in the first 3 paragraphs of
WP:LYRICS. Also, this completely and utterly fails
WP:GNG and does not benefit Wikipedia in any way.
