 * Delete. No problem finding a dozen search results – each one a mere directory listing confirming the church's existence only. The article cites no sources, obviously written from original research, and since none apparently exist the article apparently can never be improved. —Prhartcom ♥ 12:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Hello all, yes, prhart is correct it is original research - I wrote the article. I am a member of the Sikh faith, and was born and raised in 100 Mile House, BC. My family roots can be tied back to the town to the early 1970s and my dad was a founding member of the 100 Mile House Sikh Society. You are correct, there are no articles about this Gurdwara and that is because no one really knows of it or its story. I added this to an already existing article "Gurdwaras in Canada" and then decided to write a brief history on it, allowing people to learn of it and its existence, and perhaps conduct research on their own.


 * An article cannot be deleted simply because it is original research, arguably every article on any topic was once original research. You must determine the credibility of the source behind the research which I have spoken to above. I will continue to improve the article and will add pictures of the temple, and its events.Dalvinder K (talk) 22:11, 14 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - Finding the same sort of results as Prhartcom, indicating a lack of notability. The creator admits that this is original research - while I admire their desire to write a history of a meaningful site, Wikipedia is not the right place for this. Articles on Wikipedia are built on secondary coverage from reliable sources, not original research. Perhaps there may be another venue more suited for the piece - a blog, maybe?
