No evidence of notability. Included on a travel website, but that's about it. Article (like many similar ones) is highly promotional as well, but the main problem is that the reliable, independent sources which are about this temple seem to be lacking (searched in Google News, Google Books and the first 5 pages of Google hits). Note that the article is about the existing temple, not about the proposed one that can be found in sources like this and which may be notable on architectural grounds. This is about yet another planned temple. Fram (talk) 12:43, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The article title is a western name with very limited usage. So I made the effort to do some though research with all the name variations, including in Hindu. A search on Highbeam shows five news reports that mention it [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. These are literally short mentions. There are maybe 50 or 100 directory listings for the various names of this temple, most in Hindu but many in English, many simply giving the address, others the prayer times and basic info also. Nothing with detail (examples: [6], [7], [8]). Being a major tourist destination in Ahmedabad, it is of course on Tripadvisor and other travel sites such as this and expedia, which are irrelevant to notability here. Being a major temple as far as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness is concerned, there are many primary sources on their website and that of their affiliates as well, also not relevant to notability. As Fram has noted, this and this are about other temples planned by the same organisation in the same city. The temple in question is relatively new with no architectural or traditional significance and carries no special protections or designations. In short, I see nothing which suggests the article is notable or meeting the standards for inclusion. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 23:33, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
