 * Comment – Someone from Kerala should be able to let us know if this is notable. Oscarthecat, notability is established. If it's as old as claimed the temple will be notable; please change the reason to lack of verifiable sources. Mangoe, a lack of Google hits does not imply non-notability. The name is the English transliteration of a Malayalam term, (the language spoken in Kerala). Therefore, with transliterations, there can be a whole slew of different spellings that Google cannot fuzzy match. This is further compounded as the name is long. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  15:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've asked User:Tinucherian and User:Thunderboltz to weigh in on this article. They are both from Kerala and sufficiently experienced on Wikipedia policies (to avoid future allegations of ballot stuffing). =Nichalp   «Talk»=  17:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment : I couldnt find anything other than http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/25/stories/2006072513340300.htm to which the temple is referred as Thumpamon Vadakkumnatha Temple . Other combinations of search used where Vadakku natha, Vadakkumnathan Vadakkun nathan etc , while the place named is usually spelt as Thumpamon which has the mention of the temple but added by the temple article creator. If at all it was the oldest temple in Pathanamthitta district , it would have more references. The temple may exist but I couldnt find anything to prove its notablity. I have been a resident of the same district for some 10 years near to this place of Thumpamon --  Tinu  Cherian  - 08:42, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Totally unreferenced and I couldn't find this name on any of the lists of temples in Kerala. http://www.templenet.com/enckeraa1.html#Top%20of%20Page ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: The temple is mentioned at http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/25/stories/2006072513340300.htm as Thumpamon Vadakkumnatha, though Hindu article does not assert the temple's notability. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 09:02, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It may exist, but so far there are no reasons to believe it is notable that are referenced from reliable sources. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 21:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
