No indication of notability of this temple. Fails WP:GNG. Such temples are located in every street and there are more than 100 in Chennai. Venkat TL (talk) 08:45, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article was initially created with a single source, but now additional book sources have been added. With this, I think the article passes WP:GNG. It appears that there is scope for expanding the article since the temple is perhaps the most important Jain temple in the city. Rasnaboy (talk) 14:41, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Rasnaboy Please describe here, the length and the details of the coverage along with the source. From what I have seen in my WP:BEFORE only passing mentions or a short para on the temple was found (they do not pass the "significant depth of coverage" criteria of GNG). There is nothing that makes this temple stand out among other temples. Venkat TL (talk) 14:59, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Muthiah (2014) describes the temple in detail, and many of the info in the article are from that source. Lang et al. (1997) isn't as detailed as Muthiah but both are secondary sources befitting the GNG. Although there aren't numerous sources available online, the availability of secondary sources discussing about the temple more than just a passing mention is what makes me see a scope for expansion.

You are still being vague about the length and the detail of coverage. Muthiah, S. (2004). Madras Rediscovered: A Historical Guide to Looking Around : Supplemented with Tales of 'Once Upon a City'. East West Books (Madras) Pvt. Limited. ISBN 978-81-88661-24-4. This book is a travel guide. And as expected it makes 1 mention of this temple. I don't consider a single mention as significant coverage. Neither the notability has been asserted in any way nor sources with in depth coverage available.
