The result was   redirect to Thomas the Apostle. There is consensus that this article is heavily flawed, and the one keep vote supported a redirect to an appropriate article as an outcome. As such, there is consensus for a redirect. (non-admin closure) Spirit of Eagle (talk) 06:48, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

This article survived a prod back in 2009, but it remains a very short article with multiple problems, flagged up in 2010, and no attempt to deal with them. PatGallacher (talk) 02:41, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Redirect to Thomas the Apostle.  Pax
 * Keep or find a suitable redirect target. I suspect the problem is that nothing is known of the subject apart from what the article says about him.  This is a common problem with ancient history.  The subject is presumably a saint of the St Thomas Christians, which has a section dealing with their origins.  The problem is that the earliest source on St Thomas in India is from about 200 years after the events described.  One solution might be to have a list article on such early St Thomas Christians and use this article as a start for it.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:30, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
