  • Delete -- It is essentially an orphan and does not even say where it is. The normal outcome is that we only keep local churches if they are notable for other reasons - architecture, contents, involvement in particular events, etc. I see nothing notable about this.

  • Merge a considerably trimmed version to Syrian churches of Kerala. There is a considerable whiff of Westocentrism here, if you consider how many totally non-notable US churches are able to easily establish "notability" by local papers etc, and how difficult it is for South Indian churches to demonstrate this from the internet, especially in the English language, given local conditions.

  • keep - The page is edited and added more details, references also added in the current page including local news paper news. The presence of relic of Mother Mary in this church makes it famous and important. The rare portion of this relic is enshrined in only a few churches in the world. So this church cannot be considered as one amoung many. There is a limitation give the link of the newspaper news as the link of the local newspaper will be deleted automatically from their webportal after a couple of days of publishing the news. This article will be a usefull reference for the people who do the research about Soonoro Churches and Marian shrine. Following are the reference which shows the importance of this church.

  • Delete as there's nothing solidly convincing to suggest keeping and improving, we can wait for a better article. SwisterTwister talk 00:27, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I edited in the article. It is clearly a notable church, a landmark explained in multiple sources. I think it is even notable as a place atop a hill per wp:GEOLAND. The suggestion to "wait for a better article" appears to be an acknowledgement that the topic is notable. We don't delete stubs or weak articles on notable topics; it is appropriate to tag them for improvement but this is not AFD justification. --doncram 02:49, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as not notable and little coverage from any reliable or independent sources. Note that two of the keep votes appear to be from sock/meat puppets. Omni Flames let's talk about it 03:08, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This does not pass my standards for historic church buildings. Neither it nor the village it is in are listed in DK's Eyewitness Travel Guide to India. Bearian (talk) 13:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
