  • Out of 5 references, #1 redirects to http://patwari.org/bd/bhikshaalya.html which seems to be a devotional website, hardly seems reliable. #2 and #3 are from Notion Press, a self-publishing company, which we should avoid WP:SELFPUB unless by a subject-matter expert. A quick search about the author S. V. Upendra Charya yields not much to determine if he's a subject expert for the history of the village surrounding Appanacharya and Raghavendra Swami. #4 seems to be a website dedicated to Appanacharya, no evidence of being an RS. Only #5 seems reliable enough. Since the majority of the article depends on #2 and #3, could other independent sources be added replacing them? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:34, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I feel Notion Press is a valid reference as innumerable book have been published by them. But the other references may need to be repalced. I will try. I have made an extensive search in the the web and google books for many days and I could not find any other sources other than the two Norton Press references. I will be glad if you could suggest some other references.Nvvchar. 01:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, no. Notion Press is a self-publishing company and the books published by them do not meet our standards for WP:RS. I looked at Google Books nd all I could find are Census books, apart from the two books of S. V. Upendra. I'd suggest asking at WT:IN, perhaps someone knows something — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:04, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry to hear that Nvvchar. Also, Sojourner in the earth pointed out there're some WP:CLOP issues as well User talk:Nvvchar#Close paraphrasing. Either way, I'm afraid, we have to let this one go. Good luck with other nominations! — DaxServer (t · m · c) 09:31, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Fine. No issues. There are many important monuments and relgious places in India for which suitable acceptable book references or even News paper references are not at all available. I may also point out that self publishing book local publishing houses by knowlegable authors suchb as Upendra, if not published by reputed publishers, can not also be outright rejected as it has happened in this artcile.

    @Nvvchar: Perhaps other reviewers have different views on this one. Since you insist, as I understand, that Upendra is a subject-matter expert in this field, I'll mark this for a re-review from another reviewer — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:25, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
