Ponnambalamedu

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of any notability - the one source is from blogspot - and not mentioned in either of the articles about the phenomenon or the temple to which it links. Possibly Original Research. DePRODded by original editor without comment, though adding the blogspot ref. Pam D  09:05, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment A preliminary google search indicates that the place does exist and the religious event mentioned in the article seems to be conducted there. So, OR may not apply here. From personal experience, I know that the place exists and "locally, the most important religious event" happens there. I know my personal knowledge is useless here. The only question is if the place is sufficiently covered in reliable sources. I'll try to dig up sources if any, if I find time. Suraj  T  09:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Suraj,  you seem to have added a RS; apparently this is the name of a mountain, (the source calls it a "summit"--is "mountain" the correct interpretation?) and all mountains are notable if they can be verified. It would be good to have some additional geographic information. I note the editor responsible for this article has been trying to achieve a personal goal of having written 100 articles by adding multiple unsourced articles, or articles sourced only to the subjects' websites. They've been warned many times; I've just given a final warning, and I will block if it continues. There is no reason why we should have to deal with this sort of editing.

 * Actually, it's a hill. And it's 1170m above mean sea level. Uncle G (talk) 20:39, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I have added some material to the article with sources. The topic itself seems notable to me (though I have recused myself from voting, pending further digging for sources). To an outside observer, as in the case of the nom PamD, the initial state of the article and google searches will not have given a hint of notability, as the topic is bogged down by blogs and spammy stuff. The sources I added might help further expansion with specific keyword searches.
 * @DGG, It is actually a hill, as pointed out by Uncle G. I have been searching for geographical info, but I've not come across any yet. Will add if I find any RS.
 * @Uncle G, can u give me a link to the source of the altitude of the hill? I didnt come across the height inspite of specific keyword searches.
 * Edit: Nevermind, got what I was looking for, and included it in the article. Suraj  T  10:03, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Withdraw nomination: after Surajt88's splendid work this article bears no relation to the dubious blog-sourced stub which I nominated for deletion. Thank you for your work! Pam  D  14:02, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
