Kanyakumari Christians

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Why the page should be deleted:

1. The article content is dubious, is badly referenced, and I suspect almost completely wrong or misleading.

2. Having looked for evidence of a distinct community or social or ethnic group called Kanyakumari Christians I wasn't able to find it.

3. As far as I have been able to tell, the Kanyakumari Christians are Christians that live in Kanyakumari, in which case the article should be renamed and re-written as Christians in Kanyakumari. The article makes out as if this a social or ethnic or religious group, which is misleading

4. There is no evidence many of the people listed are even Christians. I have looked for evidence.

5. The legend of St Thomas conversion in Kerala is used by Saint Thomas Christians of Kerala. Reference to this legend in this article, I'm guessing is due existence of some them in Kanyakumari. Josslined (talk) 06:33, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * At best repurpose as a list of these Christians - The lead is about Saint Thomas Christians. The rest is merely a list.  I am dubious about reference to the "plains", which normally measn north India.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:07, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
