AyyappaBhagavatam

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Found this article while rolling through the underlinked backlog.

This is an entirely unsourced three-sentence article about a 20th-century "holy book" of a Hindu off-shoot sect, I think? A search for the stated author turns up very few Google hits with nothing reliable. The book is supposedly about the Hindu deity Ayyappan, whose article notably does not link back to this one.

I was initially hesitant to bring this to AfD because of the obvious systemic bias concerns -- especially because I assume the article subject will have most of its references in a non-Latin alphabet which complicates searches. But this article has no references and none are readily found (at least by me) after a search. I suspect this is a pamphlet by a non-notable sect.  A  Train ''talk 10:47, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

 * delete: the only source I was able to find is this one. To me, it appears to be failing WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG. Anup   [Talk]  18:31, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete a redirect to Ayyappan or Sabarimala doesn't quite seem right, and there isn't really anything here. Smmurphy(Talk) 18:01, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
