This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Kerala. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Kerala|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Kerala. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to India.

Aranmula Palace

Aranmula Palace (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article has been subject to several AfDs under multiple titles (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aranmula Kottaram and the much older Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aranmula palace). The article has weak sourcing and search results turn almost none that can demonstrate wp:notability. Recommend redirection to Aranmula as with the most recent AfD (that was closed three months ago!). Please note that the author's edits mostly revolve around promoting the palace as a standalone article. ToadetteEdit (talk) 17:33, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • What with Aranmula palace (AfD discussion), Aranmula Kottaram (AfD discussion), Aranmula Mangattu Palace, Aranmula Vadake Kottaram (Northern Palace), Aranmula Palace (Aranmula Palace), Aranmula Palace (Aranmula Kottaram), Aranmula Pala (Aranmula Kotta), Draft:Aranmula Kottaram, Draft:Aranmula Mangattu Kottaram, and Aranmula Mangattu Kottaram it is becoming hard to keep track. It doesn't help that the articles don't clarify which of these is the real Kottaram. Uncle G (talk) 18:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Dear all, The malayalam word 'kottaram' means Palace in english language. vadake kottaram is the name of palace. There was another big palace in aranmula known as 'Valiya kottaram'(Meaning-big palace). when valiya kottaram demolished on 1985, last king moved to Vadakke kottaram and continued to live there until 2008.then he left aranmula and died last year. The malayalam word 'vadakke' means northen in english language. After 5 yeas research,in the book 'Aranmula Ithihyavum Charithra Sathyangalum' Written By K P Sreeranganadhan, he mentioned in page 418 that he have proofs that showing vadakke kottaram renovated in 1910 and got approval from kerala ruled king. Since aranmula dynasty don't had any ruling privilege's, and it is a small village, it is not mentioned much in history. However, in the book Kerala A Journey in Time Part II: Kingdom Of Cochin & Thekamkoor Rajyam; People Places and Potpourr, written by George Abraham, also describes Aranmula palace belongs to Thekumkoor dynasy. Article's about aranmula kottaram is there in news channel is also added in references. I don't know how to vote for 'keep' this article. i couldn't find any 'keep' button. yes to protect this page, I have done some small mistakes. I have created a page on 2009 in wikipedia and from 2018-2021 onwards, this page is targeted and attacked. it is mentioned that the article has been subject to several AfDs. it was for the first page and it is deleted by some one without even informing me. Sorry to say You people didnot take any action against user who do vandalism. I have recreated this page and Now again.. Please keep in mind that there are lot of treasures in world like this which are not recorded properly in history. I have spend a lot of time and effort. I had enough mental stress due to this page and not anymore. If you think this is fake, you may delete this. You can delete only Wikipedia page but not the real palace which will remain in Aranmula for ever.

  • Redirect per nom. If this is a duplicate of another article, then it could be redirected there, but in the absence of a better redirect target, the town article is the most appropriate. Celia Homeford (talk) 13:37, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This is not duplicate. This is recreated page when someone targeted and deleted first page after continuous vandalism. You may ask why i didnt reported. First of all, i am not a wikpedia expert. I have reported it in edit history and to some people who tagged for deletion. After reading my reply, they all just left instead of providing support. I tried to go through the help but to be honest, it was very confusing and there is no simple steps to follow. So i did what i can do. What else i am suppose to do when there is no support from wiki experts? Ajithchandra (talk) 12:33, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect both this article and the equally poorly sourced page Aranmula Mangattu Palace to Aranmula. I agree with the user above that it's becoming hard to keep track of the drafts and all the similar pages. Keivan.fTalk 19:27, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is genuine article and the authenticity is proved in the books mentioned in reference. This article is also useful for people who are searching about Aranmula. The malayalam word 'kottaram' means Palace in English language. vadake kottaram is the name of palace.. After 5 yeas research, in the book 'Aranmula Ithihyavum Charithra Sathyangalum' Written By K P Sreeranganadhan, he mentioned in page 418 that he have proofs that showing vadakke kottaram renovated in 1910 and got approval from Kerala ruled king. Since Aranmula dynasty don't had any ruling privilege's, and it is a small village, it is not mentioned much in history. However, in the book Kerala A Journey in Time Part II: Kingdom Of Cochin & Thekamkoor Rajyam; People Places and Potpourr, written by George Abraham, also describes Aranmula palace belongs to Thekumkoor dynasty. Article's about aranmula kottaram is there in the news is also added in references.Ajithchandra (talk) 13:21, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I was not aware of what was happening, but now I have a clear picture. The original page was created in 2009. The issues with this page began when a user, Arjunvishnu2000, along with another user, repeatedly attempted to change its content to "Mangattu Palace" (a different building near this palace) from 2018 to 2024. Every time I reverted their edits, they change it again after 2–3 months. I was so frustrated that I even tried creating a separate page for Mangattu Palace, hoping they would stop the vandalism and work on that page instead. However, when their repeated edit attempts failed, they then tried multiple times to have this page deleted. I did not receive any notifications about these actions until December 2024. I was also unaware that the original page had been redirected. One day, when I searched for it, I couldn't find it. As a result, I recreated the page, thinking the original content was lost.
    If you check the edit histories, you can clearly understand this. Unfortunately, it now seems that admins are protecting the page of user responsible for the vandalism while attempting to remove the real page. Ajithchandra (talk) 14:53, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This palace still exists in Aranmula and serves as a valuable reference for those interested in building a Nalukettu-style house. I believe this page should remain to inform those who are not familiar with Aranmula. vasu44 (talk) 17:58, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Still the same as from previous AfD. Not enough coverage and not notable. Agent 007 (talk) 14:16, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Expedited PROD to AFD. Clearly not notable, no references on a BLP which is unacceptable, and has been ghostwritten by someone with a COI to the person in this article. DotesConks (talk) 17:39, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
