Little Flower Forane Church, Nilambur[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

"Little Flower Forane Church doesn't have any written History" begins this article. Therefore all of this about the church is unverifiable and fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In fact this article was declined at AfC. Most of the incidental, tangential and unrelated information is sourced to the church directory or website. Sionk (talk) 18:57, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This church is non-notable. A Google Books search only bringing up one result with that book being The Catholic Directory of India, published in 1969, also points to not being notable. SL93 (talk) 22:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Don't Delete: This church is one of the most important Catholic churches in Nilambur. So, saying that church is non-notable is not true. The article is now edited and it is cleaned by removing the information that doesn't have reliable source. The church doesn't own a website. The brief history(newly added) is created by collecting relevant information from various websites that gives allusion about the church. And among them most important one is the website of Manathavady Diocese.

Delete at first I thought this may merely be a terrible article on a notable subject, but after some digging it looks like that isn't the case. Coverage is primary, directory listings, or both, which just isn't enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:03, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Looks interesting, but I'm not finding any book or news sources, other than The Catholic Directory of India of 1969, noted above (also 1984 and 2005 editions, without the word "Forane"). There was apparently a link to a Times of India story, but that link is dead, cannot be recovered by searching, and was never properly cited. Offline sources might exist, but it's really up to the article author to find them (this should have been done when the article failed at AfC). At present the article seems to fail WP:GNG. -- 202.124.89.3 (talk) 01:24, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
