This article has no sources provided at all. I realize that sources, if there are any, may be in Hindi, a language I can't read. However, a Google search for the temple name in Hindi [1] brought up nothing but Wikipedia, its mirrors, or other wikis. Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:36, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No reliable sources available. Drat8sub (talk) 19:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Place that has historical significance. A) The building was one of the few structures that survived the Battle of Kohima (WW2) per this. B) Also the oldest Jain temple in Kohima (capital of a remote Indian state Nagaland) since 1920 per this. Also listed at List of Jain Temples. The jains were a business community that migrated to remote Kohima in 1920. This temple is an important part of the city's history given very few ethnic groups migrated to Kohima that early. Nagaland has 18 tribes, many of whom continue to retain their traditional ways. C) There is systemic bias in the national print and broadcast media on coverage of the North Eastern part and this limits references in mainstream media. I will continue to look for more reliable sources and references. Arunram (talk) 20:28, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of Jain temples#Nagaland. From sources given, I believe it's a real temple, and that its 100 years old (wouldn't bet anything on the latter) but, clearly, there isn't anything to write an article with. My search yielded the same as reported by nom. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 10:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
