Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kanadikavu Shree Vishnumaya Kuttichathan Swamy temple
It appears obviously notable, so I can see how newish editor(s) could get frustrated with statements that "in general, no indication this meets " (in this AFD nomination) and bland boilerplate denials at AFC that "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article", etc.  It is estimated to be 700 years old, its photos show pretty obvious age/elaborateness/importance, it is subject of an annual three-day festival that gets mention in reputable source(s), etc.  Seems like there is an editorial process failure going on, a combination of failure to communicate and, yes, newish editor(s) not having all the ability or willingness to comply with referencing standards that other wikipedia editors are trying to insist upon.  I dunno, how about acknowledging that it really does meet Wikipedia's standards for notability, as a starter.  Is there some way to enlist help of experienced editors on Sri Lanka topics?  Some way to really correspond with the author(s)?  Otherwise I don't know how the AFC type editors should proceed, but bringing the failure of process to AFD doesn't seem great to me
