Fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Unsourced yellow page. Such a list can be created for every town, as there are temples in every street. Venkat TL (talk) 18:57, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Category:Religious buildings and structures in Kerala by district, Category:Religious_buildings_and_structures_in_India, and the main parent category Category:Religious buildings and structures by country show these list are common. But only four of these are blue linked to their own articles. Dream Focus 00:58, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not a context-free directly of the names of every non-notable church, mosque, synagogue, and temple in every place. The categories above organize for the most part notable ones with articles. Reywas92^Talk 23:31, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Temples in this city are covered in some book sources. Pilgrimage to Temple Heritage 2017 for instance has a list. Unfortunately, there is little or no overlap with the temples in the article, so there might be an arguable WP:TNT case here, but not an argument that the title shouldn't exist. My suggestion is to drastically reduce it to entries that have articles and anything that can be sourced. At the very least, the St. Thomas church seems to be highly notable.

- This book is a directory of several hundred temples throughout Kerala – that these are naturally in various cities doesn't mean that this city or each of those various cities needs a stand-alone list of them. All four with articles are already at North_Paravur#Landmarks, so a redirect would be fine. Reywas92^Talk 19:44, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly, the book does not list every single temple. They have therefore applied some sort of selection criteria. That is, the temples they consider notable. SpinningSpark 20:13, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- In the early day of WP, we had list articles to identify articles that were needed, but the majority of temples, churches and mosques are RUNOFTHEMILL and thus NN. The existence of the list encourages articles to be produced on each, but we should not encourage articles on NN subjects. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:20, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
