Sivasakthi Amman Temple, Thiruninravur

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Welp, this is a tricky one, and I've spent some time researching it, but I can't verify this place's existence. Firstly, the title of the page is Sivasakthi Amman Temple, but the location (and the history section, before I removed it for being complete gibberish and making utterly no sense) section then says "Sarvamadha Sathya Peedam is situated...". Given that two different names have been supplied, then it should be pretty simple to verify this temple's existence, but I simply cannot find anything, under any name at all. Complicating matters is that there are numerous high quality images on the page, and so perhaps there is a case of mistaken identity, or something, as I don't think this is a hoax, but even after going through lists of temples in Tamil Nadu (and not just from our own incomplete Wikipedia list) and searching for images and videos of the temple, I can't find anything. jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:09, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: Failed to find even passing mentions for this temple in any reliable source. Anup   [Talk]  10:57, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment In the domestic language Tamil, such temples are known as Kovil or Koil. There are sources which mention the existence of the temple, but someone has to mix up the name properly to find out, because in some sources, the name of the temple is "Sivasakthi Temple" (leaving out the Amman). Here's the Google Maps image. Here's the yellow pages directory entry. Lourdes  15:06, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Temples are called in Tamil, Kovil/Koil? Or only those temples what are dedicated to lord Shiva? Anyway, I tried for "Sri Shivashakti temple", and found this. It is another temple built in 1930, located in Penang, Malayasia. Perhaps that is the one we should have an article about. If you know Tamil language, please try WP:INDAFD search engine, here.

 * Hello Anup. Perhaps you did not see the sources that I have already found. The temple exists. Rest, I have no views on whether to keep or delete the article. Lourdes  02:55, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I opened and read those unreliable sources. I was confused whether "temple" is called 'Kovil/Koil' in Tamil, or as you said, "such temples" (temple dedicated to Shiva) are called, 'Kovil/Koil'. If you were a native speaker of Tamil, you could tell me better and I would give your words more weight than above sources. I noticed variation in names and searched for alternative name (leaving out 'amman') in a Tamil daily, it popped up another temple.
 * For some reason, you answered an unasked question. I didn't question existence. Anup   [Talk]  08:44, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure. Thanks. Lourdes  13:14, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete-The article has too many problems.Even if we accept(take for granted) that the temple exists, where is the guarantee of notability of this particular temple.In a country like India,there are numerous religious shrines, places of worship etc., it is purely fantastical that each and every temple shall have an article!I think the onus shall be on the creator/(those who opine to keep) to prove their locus standi!
