After looking into the sourcing for this article, I realized that it, like many family articles, is likely a vanity page. Majority of sources given turned up negative on reference to any event directly involving the family, much less naming them. Those that did presented the identical information as those found in the retained A.K. Thomas source, which simply names the family in a list of baptized brahmin. Most sources identify this story as a legend (not even going to touch that issue). WP:BEFORE reveals only a couple of non-notable recent individuals and a handful of page mirrors.

Comment from nominator This page was created over 15 years ago during the period of time when IPs could create pages. As such, we unfortunately can not expect commentary from the page creator. If you are the page creator, please provide page numbers on the retained sources. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:40, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep seems well-sourced. Middle Eastern christian family names are not in my wheelhouse, but it looks ok to me. Oaktree b (talk) 01:48, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: As best I can tell, those sources make no reference to the family in question (Indian, not ME, but I can understand the confusion). With the exception of the A.K. Thomas source, they serve to cite Thomas the Apostle's presence in India. Additionally, sources were provided sans page number, so there's no way of knowing if there was any additional intention besides WP:SYNTH contextualizing. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:55, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per explanation above. If we can't verity the sources, they're as good as useless. Oaktree b (talk) 03:44, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No notability, article topic already covered by Saint Thomas Christians Poketama (talk) 10:10, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Church, Palayur#Legend. The most substantial part of the article is the account of St Thomas' ministry at Palayur (old spelling Palayoor), but this is rather better covered in that article. This is indeed only a legend, but appears in that article with two sources, so that it is verified. This is one of the 7 major churches Ēḻarappaḷḷikaḷ. Beyond that all there is in the article is the naming of families, which might go into a list article but probably does not require even that.
