Sathya Sai Baba article

reporting old news

hi, the article Sai Baba upsets Telangana activists appears to report news that is fairly dated. Wikinews' practise has been not to write belated accounts of events. i'm afraid i've unpublished the article and tagged it for deletion. i appreciate the effort u've put into writing this article, and hope u continue to contribute more articles, do ensure that the reports are timely. one way to save this article wld be to update it on any recent developments and bump the date to today.  — Doldrums(talk) 06:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
