Unsourced and in need of WP:TNT/ — Mikehawk10 (talk) 04:48, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, or better "Speedy Keep" with admonishment to the deletion nominator, who misunderstands AFD. "Unsourced" is not a reason for deleting an article; it matters only that sources exist and could be added. There is no requirement that Wikipedia articles contain any sources at all. No performance of wp:BEFORE. This is a church built by the Portuguese in India in the 1600s or 1700s and is going to be noted in historical sources, and likely also recognized by a historic register. The essay wp:TNTTNT (to which I contributed) explains multiple reasons why calls to TNT (as here the link to essay wp:TNT) are almost always invalid (exception being copyvio, not an issue with this article). Seriously, User:Mikehawk10 you should withdraw this immediately, or if you do not understand then please read wp:TNTTNT and also take to heart what this AFD discussion will end up saying. --Doncram (talk) 07:33, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
