Summarize and Merge into Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 09:05, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as applicable, and then Delete. Wikipedia is not a directory nor a calendar for individual temples. Seva (aka sewa) is the Sanskrit word meaning "selfless service", but it has come to refer to certain types of rituals that are said to show "selfless service". While it is appropriate to have articles on Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh rituals, rituals specific to a single temple are best summarized, if at all, in the temple's article. I do note in passing that Sikhs generally abhor blind ritual. This title is not appropriate for a redirect, especially as Tirumala primarily refers to the town, while "Venkateswara" ("Lord of Venkata") would more appropriately be applied as an adjective to the temple which is his abode. --Bejnar (talk) 20:00, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In studying the Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala article itself, which has an extensive section on "worship", I don't find anything more to merge. Do do so would be too much detail. --Bejnar (talk) 23:38, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It seems like just another temple, or a tourist attraction. Agree with Bejnar about Wiki not being a directory of temples. It may have a chance at applying under this Notability proposal, but it failed, and I can't find any notability measure it would meet satisfactorily (on its own - summary in other articles would be best, but there isn't all that much content as it is).

Delete - I can't see any evidence of notability and nothing worthy of merging into another article Spiderone 08:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
