Does not meet WP:GNG, the article is almost purely cobbled together from primary source predictions and independent sources either confirming or denying the prediction coming true, usually without any reference to Kurzweil. We do not dedicate separate articles to predictions made by individuals, which incidentally gives this article a silly level of prominence (prior to nominating for deletion, it is a top suggested result when you type in "Predictions"). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 03:17, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is no place for this vapid BLP on Wikipedia. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:44, 10 September 2021 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. The main article on this author already has a short section on his predictions. This article contains almost no sources outside of the works written by the subject.--SouthernNights (talk) 13:03, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
