Comment: Reference formatting needs some significant cleanup - don't mix templated and untemplated citations. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:09, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I am relatively new here, so can you give an example or make a sample edit? Nittawinoda (talk) 12:01, 27 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Some of your citations use citation templates, like cite book; others are typed out by hand without using such templates. Which of the two styles do you want to use? Nikkimaria (talk) 12:44, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I would like to go with the templates using cite book,etc. I have fixed a few, check, . Can you confirm if this is correct? I will then fix the rest. Thanks, Nittawinoda (talk) 09:42, 28 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Mostly, some small errors - India should be in location, ref is not needed if you are using these templates inline. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:34, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I have fixed the citations. Please continue the review and let me know of any other issues. Thanks, Nittawinoda (talk) 16:18, 30 April 2019 (UTC)


 * It looks like you still have a mix of templated and untemplated citations, which is still resulting in inconsistencies in presentation. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:14, 18 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Can you give an example? Nittawinoda (talk) 17:27, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Coordinator comment - This has been open for a solid month without any declaration of support for promotion, and doesn't seem to be heading in the right direction at present. Therefore, I will be archiving it shortly and it may be re-nominated after the customary two-week waiting period. In the mean time, please action feedback as appropriate. -- Laser brain  (talk)  13:46, 25 May 2019 (UTC) -- Laser brain  (talk)  13:46, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Source analysis
A lot many of the sources fail WP:HISTRS by a few miles or so. I will be leaving a detailed note on the quality of existent sourcing. &#x222F; WBG converse 05:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * P. V. Jagadisa Ayyar (1982), South Indian Shrines: Illustrated, Asian Educational Services
 * This book was originally written in 1920 (re-discovered and re-printed in 1982). A century ago, South India was rife with nationalistic biases in scholarship. The credentials of the author is unknown and I can't locate any review of the re-print, either. A sub-standard one-paragraph review of the 1920 print is over here.
 * Fails HISTRS.
