The result was delete. This is an important temple in U.S would need to be demonstrated by multiple independent sources - and not YouTube videos - to justify an article, alas Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:52, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Shiva Murugan Temple

nothing but WP:ROUTINE coverage. The assertion that it is the oldest Hindu temple in the US could be a claim to notability, but no sourcing is there for that claim and I found none. No indication of any other historic or architectural significance. John from Idegon (talk) 18:55, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

The informations i got about the temple is from their website. It may or may not be the first hindu temple in U.S. but only few temples of Hinduism are scattered over U.S.A, people can knew about them through Wikipedia. This is an important temple in U.S., eventhough it isnt first, it had attracted a large people of Hindus in U.S and had become one of the most famous temple in U.S. So it must be kept on. I am ready to give additional sources and expand it with truthful informations. Please wait until i fully finish the article.--wiki tamil 100 (talk) 03:27, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Found no significant coverage in reliable sources. James (talk/contribs) 19:18, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Delete Youtube videos showing rituals do not show its notability beyond that there is no third party coverageFORCE RADICAL (talk) 06:00, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
