 * Delete LIke the nominator, I could find absolutely no independent sourcing outside of wiki sites - not even confirmation that it exists. --MelanieN (talk) 00:53, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Delete and remove from template. I, too, cannot confirm its existence, which also seems to indicate it is not notable even if it did exist.  Perhaps it is a hoax too, but we may never know, given how Bhutan is.  --Falcon Darkstar Momot (talk) 06:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete not even a hint that it actually exists.-- SPhilbrick  T  12:48, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Here is the description: Thanks, I think, it can be now kept TheNeon (talk) 21:18, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Now keep, stop deleting. I have found it in Stan Armington "Bhutan" guide (it calls Sey Lhakhang 27.55926°N, 90.57744°W) and has many references as Sey Lhakhang can be found.

''Beyond the hospital north of Jakar is the Sey (Gold) Lhakhang, properly known as Lhodrak Seykhar Dratshang. This is monastic school, established in 1963, with about 25 students. The central figure in the lhakhang is Marpa Lotsawa, a great teacher and translator of the Kagyu linage. The chapel is open to visitors.''
 * Neutral. This certainly exists, then, but we should probably move the article to its best known name, Sey Lhakhang, as nothing supporting the name Sekargutho Monastery can be found.  I fear, however, that it is not notable.  The information I can find is mainly in tour guides, much of it seemingly copied from a book which mentions the site.  --Falcon Darkstar Momot (talk) 08:22, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The source provided by TheNeon confirms that the monastery exists and is enough to verify the information in the article. There may be non-English sources or offline sources that would confirm that it is notable, so I am not voting "delete" despite the fact that I have not seen enough coverage to pass WP:GNG.

 * Weak keep and rename Google indicates this is a stop on several tours, is covered in at least one guide book, and is discussed in travel publications. It should be renamed the proper name of the institution, though (Lhodrak Seykhar Dratshang). Novaseminary (talk) 03:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
