I think it's traditional on navigation templates to first write the article and then add the name to the template. This is usually the case. The function of the template is to show people where relevant articles can be found quickly. If items were just added as a kind of list of possible subjects, navigation boxes would grow to unmanigable sizes and would not serve their purpose. Rather they would become lists of potential topics for articles, which defeats their purpose. So I suggest writing an article about Don E. Stevens first. Then once it is beyond stub stage it can be added back to the template. 72.204.46.220 ( talk) 22:44, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
The recent additions of redirected links are not appropriate for a template box. It is meant for complete articles. Dazedbythebell ( talk) 11:20, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
Since 2 of the three members of Baba's family have been deleted, I propose to move the remaining one Sheriar Irani (father) to Associated figures. Dazedbythebell ( talk) 10:24, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
Having a section Organizations where Sufi Reoriented figures and not the Trust, which was deleted, makes no sense. It's like the only organization repreaenting Meher Baba is the SR. Hoverfish Talk 01:47, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Given the essential role of Meher Baba in the film Nema aviona za Zagreb, I support its presence under Legacy in the template. Hoverfish Talk 14:17, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
The current article about the Indian Dhuni ritual has nothing to do with the practice among Baba's followers. There is not a "cleft in the ground . . . emblematic of the yoni or female vulva and generative organ." And among followers of Baba the dhuni site is not "dedicated to Shakti." Therefore I'm removing it. It remained here from a previous incarnation of the article that explained the practice among Baba followers. This one does not.

It is insulting to Meher Baba to have 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' as his legacy. It is a myth that Baba had anything to do with these words being put on inspiration cards around the time of his death. This was the work of a few zealots in the Bay Area in around 1967. 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' was not a significant teaching of Baba. It was said in an off-hand way. That he became associated with the phrase after his death is usually mentioned as a kind of scorn. The phrase is more truly the legacy of the enthusiastic Bay Area hippies that decided to put the phrase on posters and inspiration cards to proselytize with.
