I edited the date of his appearance before the US Senate from July 11 to 12, because that seems to be the day he issued his prayer according to the article. If it turned out to actually be on the 11th, please feel free to change it back. ToastyMcGrath 03:19, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Previous Deletions

This article was deleted twice before [1]. This time he should be a qualified figure because he has appeared on national TV and the US Senate. According to US Senate website,[2] the "Chaplain's Prayer" should be part of Congressional Record, however, I can't find it.[3] May be they cut it out?

Other references I found not added to the page because they are blogs:[4] [5] --Voidvector 08:27, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consensus on Protester's Names

Certain editors have been adding and removing the names of the protesters from the article. Those names are readily available on the linked news articles. Also, the Operation Save America did not claim directly responsibility to the protest, the only connection is that all 3 protesters work for it. I think those names should be included for clarity sake.

Also originally the article included the words of the protesters, but I don't think that warrants adding back because the article doesn't even include Zed's prayer. --Voidvector 15:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vanity?

[6][7]. . If 75.14.204.8 announcing the fact that he delivered a prayer in no less than 30 Wikipedia articles, including Ganges, Sanskrit, July 12 and Religion in India is Mr. Zed himself, we must conclude, it seems, that the "Glory of the Deity Supreme" addressed is in fact his own healthy ego :)dab (๐’ณ) 13:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Seems so, the IP belongs to SBC ADSL in Reno. --Voidvector 15:29, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

ok, how "prominent" is this guy? This is annoying, he goes around adding him self as the single entry in various "famous people" sections.[8][9] [10][11][12][13] I left him standing in a few places such as List of Hindus, see Special:Whatlinkshere/Rajan_Zed. googling,

Find sources: Rajan Zed โ€” news, books, scholar

we get 24,000 hits. Seeing the energy this chap puts into spreading his name online, it doesn't seem surprising that this stands against all of eleven hits on google news (and a single hit on google scholar). It seems that Mr. Zed is a Nevada minor news item when he gets himself elected to some board from time to time, and he spends all the intervening time plastering the internet with self-references. Wikipedia is not for that. --dab (๐’ณ) 07:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
