Talk:Thukkachi Abatsahayesvar Temple

Untitled

Aside from the lack of reliable sources, there are several things wrong with this article.

There was the misspelling of Thukkachi Abathsahayeswarar as Thukachi Abatsahayesvar: Several attempts were made on multiple search engines using the original spelling, and they all came up with zero results.

In an attempt to help with the article, several online sources were investigated. An article on the WelcomeToIndia website states that the Thukkachi Abathsahayeswarar Temple was built during the reign of Vikrama Chola (1117-1135 CE). An online newsite called The Hindu confirms this information. The article contains this statement: "This temple was built during the period of Cholas, about 1300 years ago." Based on the articles I could find, it was built roughly 890 years ago. The reference to Cholas gives us a spread from the 300s BCE to 1279 CE. That needs fixing. If the author has a reliable citable source that contradicts these findings, then it needs to be made clear in the article.

Then there was this statement from the article: "Based on one of the names of Nandivarma Pallava II, (C.E. 730-795) vitel viduku the name of this place is found. [sic]" This statement is confusing and misleading. The words "vitel viduku" may be what ties it together, but since no translation was provided, the statement is broken and it seems to contradict other sources of information. It is also grammatically flawed.

On to the section for South Kalahasti: Why is this section even here? What does it add to the article? And the section Structures. Half of the section is about the subject of this article, the rest is about the Darasuram Iravatesvara temple.

This article needs a lot more research and expanding. Reliable sources are the least of the problems.

1. Thukachi
2. Thukachi also known as South Kalahasti, Dinamani, Tamil daily, 16 December 2016
3. Ulavara work by Iripani Tirukkuttam in Thukatchi Abatsahayesvarar Temple, Dinamalar, Tamil daily, 19 July 2011
4. Siva who took the avatar to contain Narasimha, Chennaitodaynews, in Tamil, 7 January 2016

An attempt was made to verify the above cited resources. The only one that passed was the first one: it's a page from Wikimapia. The second reference is in Tamil and in need of translating to be included in the English version of Wikipedia. The third had an English version available, but the cited information is difficult or impossible to find. The last reference is also in Tamil and impossible to verify. To make matters worse, the citations included a note about being in Tamil: that doesn't help.

This article needs to be given a lot of serious attention.
