No sources found after an extensive search for third party sources on Google. I don't know Malayalam and neither have I access to sources specifically pertaining to the South Indian christian community. In its current state I believe that the article does not meet GNG.

@FR30799386:I added some sources to the article about Metropolitans ruled diocese. Kindly please see that.PATH SLOPU^(Talk) 14:43, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Path slopu - The article which you linked to does not mention the Kochi Diocese itself. Rather it talks about the metropolitians who served there. Additionally, I would like to note that the church publishing these articles is affiliated to the same religious parent organisation as that of Kochi Orthodox Diocese — F R ⁺ 12:42, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- As an article about a diocese of a substantial denomination, this article is about a notable subject. It is a bit thin as yet, but that is a matter of improvement, which is not an AFD issue. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:49, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peterkingiron - Could you provide sources to support the fact that the church is notable. It may be a case of chronic filter bubblitis but the only source I am finding on using google search are facebook pages. Additionally, I don't grasp your reasoning about denominations. — F R ⁺ 12:42, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@FR30799386: I don't understand — the article is not about a church but an entire diocese. You need evidence that Oriental Orthodoxy and the Saint Thomas Christians are notable? —Мандичка^YO 😜 15:32, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have no special knowledge, I am merely applying WP precedents. The policy that I apply is that a denomination is likely to be notable, but a local church is usually not notable. A substantial area organisation within a denomination (such as a diocese) will normally be notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:25, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Peterkingiron. —Мандичка^YO 😜 08:29, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per historic consensus that large diocese of a significant denomination are included in Wikipedia, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 16:59, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
