Thalaiyar Falls

The Thalaiyar Falls article seems to be based on a pair of blog posts by a single individual. Moreover, there is information in there that I cannot track down even to those blog posts. This definitely needs checking, and if necessary removal of any suspect material. — The Anome (talk) 07:26, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Camp Hanuman Temple

Could someone from this WikiProject take a look at Camp Hanuman Temple? It was recently expanded by what appears to be a well-meaning new user, but who in the process introduced quite few MOS and other formatting errors. I tried to clean things up a bit, but I've got no idea as to whether any of the content that was added is appropriate; so, I didn't really remove any of it. The user did try to add citations, but they were added to section headings and some for offline sources. Feel free to re-add them inline if there's considered to be WP:RS and cited according to WP:RSCONTEXT. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:34, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bohara

The article Bohara has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not obviously notable, no sources but 14 years old.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Delectopierre (talk) 00:22, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Perhaps the geographical areas like villages are inherently notable on wikipedia. So, should not be deleted, in my opinion, but source request tag may be added. Riteze (talk) 00:31, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
