Comment: Still need more work before accepting as an article Abdullah1099 (talk) 08:22, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
Comment: You’ve made a good start to this article, but unfortunately as yet it lacks sufficient sources which prove notability. It requires 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk at length about the topic of the article. Unfortunately the sources you have so far aren’t quite there. Please try to find some sources which talk about the temple in depth, but which are not published by any group with ties to the temple. Good luck 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 13:42, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

- provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
- are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
- are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.
Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.
