Every statement in this article is sourced to unreliable sources. Rather than just have a blank article, it should just be deleted. StAnselm (talk) 10:47, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

• Keep How are these unreliable sources? And they are not just terrible pop-culture mystery-mongering books as commented below.

• Daily Express - Third in the list

• Times Internet - Number 3

• Reader's Digest 1992 article "Life Beyond Death" page 59- Snippet view is not clear.

• It was mentioned outside England in 1966 issue of The Illustrated Weekly of India.

• Vincent Gaddis mentioned the case in his book The curious world of twins in 1972.

• Australian newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald published an article about an Indian professor visiting British twins in 1966.

• Delete Clearly a non-notable WP:FRINGE topic. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 12:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Check the above sources again.

• Delete Sources in the article are terrible pop-culture mystery-mongering books. Googling doesn't find too many better sources or evidence of notability. As an example of the bad sourcing, near the end a scientific journal is mentioned but then the sentence is sourced to The Express - where's a link to the actual journal article? Also Ian Stevenson's coverage of this case could be a source, where's that? Needs some criticism of the case to adhere to WP:FRINGE as well. Either majorly clean this up, or WP:TNT. --Krelnik (talk) 13:19, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Krelnik: I stumbled on Ian Stevenson's coverage of this case from a Google Scholar search: pp71–3 of Children Who Remember Previous Lives" (in Chapter 4 "Fourteen Typical Cases of Children Who...") Qwfp (talk) 15:50, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
• Delete Possibly speedy under G7. Author has deleted this, and other articles they created and were nominated for deletion. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:16, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

RickinBaltimore I didn't delete, I was frustrated. X-Men XtremE 14:31, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

• Delete Per lack of reliable sources. HealthyGirl (talk) 17:45, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

I have provided some extra sources above. X-Men XtremE 00:13, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

• Comment The votes should not be whether claims re-incarnation of the girls were true or fake/hoax. The incident is notable as I have shown above with reliable sources. X-Men XtremE 02:24, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
