Shivalya of Downtown Chicago

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This temple no longer exists per https://goo.gl/maps/wu9p1uDYeo4aoXCJ8 Its website is not working, and its Facebook page is inactive. This article appears to have been written by someone with a close connection to the subject (WP: COI). It also appears to be an advertisement masquerading as an article (WP:PROMO) and cites no sources. Finally, the subject does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements (WP:Notability). - Ram1751 (talk) 21:59, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment Discussion page was created without the afd2 template and without transclusion to a daily log. Fixed now--I have no opinion on the nomination itself at this time.   For future AfD nominations, please fully follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO.  Thank you. --Finngall talk  23:22, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. "No longer exists" is not a valid reason for deletion. Once notable, always notable. The content of a dead website can often be found on the Internet Archive. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:44, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * But was it ever notable? This article appears to have been created by someone with a close connection to the subject and is written like an advertisement. Ram1751 (talk) 02:24, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Of the references you added, only the dnainfo source appears reliable and it only mentions this temple once in passing. Have any articles in high-quality sources or books been written about this temple? Ram1751 (talk) 02:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete per WP:ORGCRIT, which states, "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." This temple does not meet that standard. The only independent sources here feature nothing more than directory-style, incidental, or superficial coverage of this temple. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:21, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree. Ram1751 (talk) 01:34, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per WP:SIGCOV and the lack of secondary sources to be found besides. --TheInsatiableOne (talk) 08:44, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
