Keep, see WP:BEFORE. A quick google book search confirms notability. See http://books.google.com/books?ei=0mrCU_aaHaS60wWhtICoAw&hl=en&id=W2pYAAAAMAAJ, p. 77, http://books.google.com/books?id=IUHkAAAAMAAJ, p. 163 , http://books.google.com/books?id=cfY9AQAAQBAJ&pg=PT50 --Soman (talk) 11:27, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep multiple sources describe the temple, including the one on the page itself. It is embarrassing for Wikipedia that a temple like this has such a poor article and is even being considered for deletion. It really speaks to Wikipedia's systematic bias.--TM 11:41, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as simply a non notable temple, I can't find anything to justify keeping this article. –Davey2010 • (talk) 15:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This detailed article in a national level newspaper should satisfy GNG and provide enough information to rewrite this article to at least stub level. Ancient Chola temple at Madambakkam. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 15:38, 23 July 2014 (UTC) I've added some additional information and refs at the article. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 17:59, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
