 * Merge (Was "Keep, tentatively"). Try searching on '"Mandir" Ontario', and get hits like this Hindustantimes article on prime minister Trudeau's visit. -- do  ncr  am  17:49, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The reference is not the same Mandir. It is about BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Toronto.-- Redtigerxyz Talk 06:57, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Replying to Redtigerxyz: Yes, when I wrote that I was aware that the Trudeau visit was to a temple in Toronto; I thought there would be similar coverage of visits to Hindu temples in the Ottawa area, and I perceived the Vishva Shakti Durga Mandir to be the general promoter of Hinduism in the greater Ottawa area.  That's what the article says is its goal, promoting in "Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, and Canada" in general.  I would think that the most major Hindu organization in the nation's capital, or capital area, would be notable.  But I see now there is Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton, which is older and has a much more significant building than does the downtown (Glebe)-located VSDM.  So I strike my "Keep" vote.


 * However, I am still not sure on the notability of this one. What are shorter phrases / alternative names / better search terms to use than the "Vishva Shakti Durga Mandir" phrase, which is perhaps not used in full in common usage?  For example, searching on "Hindu temple Ottawa" and the like might bring up more coverage. -- do  ncr  am  23:46, 28 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I do think there ought to be Ottawa Citizen newspaper articles like those cited (but not linked, apparently not easily available online) at the end of the Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton article. Can someone with access to that newspaper run some searching, and comment? -- do  ncr  am  23:52, 28 October 2017 (UTC)


 * And, a better alternative to deletion is to merge content to its row in List of Hindu temples in Canada. There is room there for some description and a pic and more;  it would improve the list article for it to explain the years of founding of the various Ottawa area temples. -- do  ncr  am  00:00, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
