Navaikulam Juma Masjid

I am not entirely certain what this article is about. Google Books turned up nothing at all, and a regular Google search turned up Wikimapia and something about a bank. No in-depth coverage to speak of. I don't think the creator made the thing up, but I can find no evidence to support even a weak notability claim and the article has no citations to help me find any.

 * I have as yet no opinion about keeping or deleting, but I'll just point out that a masjid is a mosque, and a juma masjid is something on the lines of a main mosque or central mosque of a town, in this case Navaikulam. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:36, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Navaikulam: some googling around leads me to believe that the article is describing this mosque, located at 8.7711°N, 76.7887°W. However, considering the lack of sources and way of writing, I am inclined to turn this into a simple redirect. --HyperGaruda (talk) 05:37, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - I just fixed the link in Kaduvayil palli to that image, I think they are seperate mosques. I'm sure there is a mosque in Navaikulam, but I'm not sure it meats the notability guidelines based on what is written and what I've found.Smmurphy(Talk) 22:12, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Aside from being a WP:NOTADVERT violation, I'm also not seeing the WP:GNG passed here. There isn't a specific notability guideline for houses of worship as far as I know, and in the absence of some sort of special case, this subject seems to fail the most basic threshold guideline for inclusion.

 * Merge There is List of mosques in Kerala, currently a poor list covering only a small fraction of the mosques in Kerala that have separate Wikipedia articles, such as this one (which it does not yet cover).  In general it is a good Alternative To Deletion to merge and redirect an article to a list-article covering the item.  Here the short article has nothing that can't be covered in a list-article item.  I don't think a separate AFD is necessary for each of the many other short mosque articles which could be merged to the list-article, too.   It would be better for development of Wikipedia in this area to direct editors' attention to developing the list-article, instead of continuing to start separate articles and having (always-negative) AFD experiences. -- do  ncr  am  23:13, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
