Delete - I'm doubting the factual accuracy of the content. There is a "Parikkal" in Tamil Nadu which is nowhere near Midalam.[1] I can't find anything resembling "Pariakal" near Midalam.[2] Okay, I do see there is a "Pariakal Beach" in that area, but right now I don't know if it's notable.

Delete, fails WP:GEOLAND. Thanks to Oakshade for at least identifying that the subject exists. However, rarely has a Google search turned up as little as one for "Pariakal Beach", even without quotes - a Facebook timeline, some wiki, bad OCR, and a few spambot pages. I wouldn't for a second think that a Google search in English for a foreign location is the be-all-and-end-all of notability tests, but this doesn't inspire confidence in the existence of deep sources elsewhere.

I can't source it, although when I ran a map search for the 2 place names mentioned in the article, this beach showed halfway between them. No prejudice against re-starting this article if someone can source it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:35, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
