No sources found after an extensive search for sources on Google. I don't know Malayalam and neither have I access to sources specifically pertaining to the South Indian christian community. In its current state I believe that the article does not meet GNG. Regards — FR&thinsp;+ 07:21, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge with Avaneeswaram which is a small village where this non notable church is located. The Church itself fails WP:NBUILD due to lack of detailed coverage or WP:GNG. So the stand alone article for this church without WP:SOAPBOXING is not feasible. -- D Big X ray  17:24, 10 August 2018
 * Merge with Avaneeswaram matching the probable outcome for another church in this Indian province. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:54, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I added a citation in article from the book published by the church as the souvenir of reconstruction namely Mariyan(മരിയന്‍). It is correct and valuable because it is published by the church. So, kindly keep this article. PATH SLOPU (Talk) 05:00, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
 * If this "valuable" book is published by the church then it is called WP:SPS. Such a source will not help to establish the WP:N of this article. WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBUILD will. User:Path slopu Please confirm that you are reading all the linked policies that is commented in the recent discussions at AfDs where you are involved. If you have really read and still dont understand the problem, then I am afraid, there appears to be some WP:CIR issues or WP:COI issue. If there is any WP:COI you have to declare it per policy. if you have trouble understanding a policy then you can ask on your talk page or WP:HELPDESK-- D Big X ray  11:27, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It is still only a local church. These may well be significant locally, but that does not make then WP-notable.  The one source can be cited in the merged article.  Adding a list of clergy and other matters does not help with notability.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:52, 13 August 2018 (UTC)


 * User:Path slopu can you clarify from where did you get these images of Churches that you are adding. It does not appear to be taken by you, and looks like you are copying them from youtube videos (because of the resolution of the image) this is against WP:COPYVIO policies.-- D Big X ray  17:02, 13 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge to Avaneeswaram seems to be a good option here. The Church building isn't particularly notable itself for historical/cultural reasons. I agree that it may be important in that particular village and therefore, a merge serves the purpose.--DreamLinker (talk) 03:12, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - I share DBigXray's concerns about the image. I had nominated one for deletion here. It is not clear who is the owner and without that information, it shouldn't be uploaded as own work.--DreamLinker (talk) 03:17, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * - In answer to this you made this huge post explaining how you didn't have a COI about those churches. Could you explain in that context this comment where you refer to the community of the church as "our community". — FR&thinsp;+ 09:51, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
