Mannanthala Anandavaleeswaram Temple

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I can't find any significant discussion in reliable sources to demonstrate notability. Of the two sources given in the article one is about a priest who came to the temple and not the building itself; the other is at www.india9.com which does not seem to be reliable (specifically it looks self-published). Searching in Google gets me nothing better than a very brief mention in a census.

The page was originally tagged for speedy deletion as A7, but a temple is not a 'company, corporation, organization, or group'. Olaf Davis (talk) 19:24, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. I found a few mentions in The Hindu, and this book has some coverage, but Google Books doesn't show us how much. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:59, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Good find - a shame we can't see how substantial the book's coverage is though. Since the Hindu coverage is not very substantial I remain in favour of deletion unless anyone can find it (or alternative coverage). Olaf Davis (talk) 15:02, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
 * This is a small temple and actually has a website -  http://www.mannanthaladevi.org/index.htm. Narayana Guru was a very famous well known Guru in Keraala and this article might have historical implications - The temple is at least 200 years or older.  Not a rare thing for temples in India but has implications in Wiki being a tool for capturing history.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishnasown (talk • contribs) 15:33, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
