Quad City Hindu Temple

Article is about a non-notable religous structure. It may become notable in the future, but at present it is not notable. Also, there are no reliable sources to verify claims in the article. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 20:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There are reliable references in local newspaper. [1] [2]--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 05:55, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply The first news story states that the temple might be built and does so in the context of a larger article. The second article is a local news story that reports that the temple did open. While these two articles demonstrate that the temple has been built, they fail to demonstrate how this subject is notable. Also, there is a lack of substantial media coverage. At present, this article is about a non-notable subject. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 15:50, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While this temple may exist, its notability has not been established. It may become notable in the future, but at present it is a local religious structure that has been documented for having been constructed. This article can be recreated in the future when/if it recieves notability and has multiple reliable sources to verify whatever reasons are provided for notability. As is, this article should be deleted. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 02:06, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Rock Island, Illinois. It's true that a Hindu temple might attract some local coverage in the USA, just because it is slightly more unusual, and therefore more interesting, than a Christian church. But it seems that this temple is no more particularly notable than any other local place of worship. Cover it in the Rock Island article, just as the article about Perrysburg, Ohio contains information about the famous mosque that you pass while driving towards Detroit. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge a brief mention in the locality article as notability in itself is not established. Delete the OR and opinion. Nuttah (talk) 18:00, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I added a couple sentences about the temple, and the picture, to the Rock Island, Illinois article. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:33, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
