This temple has no notability and the article's only reference is a dead link. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 07:39, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Delete for lack of notability. The article's only assertion of notability is its unsourced claim that the temple is an "import pilgrimage" for members of a certain religious sect. But the sole reference doesn't mention this. Indeed, the sole reference is an article about the village of Najarpur, in which the mandir is given only passing mention. To be fair, that passing mention describes the mandir as "well known". But on the other hand, one of the references in the article on Najarpur includes a link to a travel site that lists six "things to see" when in Najarpur, and the mandir is not on that list. Furthermore, a quick visit to an English-language site hosted by the sect lists about 200 mandirs in India and Nepal, and says nothing about the Najarpur mandir being unique or special in any way. And so a merge to the article on Najarpur, followed by a deletion of the instant article, seems in order. I've already begun the merge process, by importing some of the content from the instant article into the article on the village (see the diff here).
