The first paragraph in History has a citation needed tag. One of the two sources in the second paragraph of the history section is [1] which shows nothing. Typing in the affiliation number that is provided in the article brings up nothing on the website. The second paragraph in the history section is unreferenced except for half of a sentence. There is also no proof of notability because none of the sources are independent of the subject. At first glance, Church News Site seems reliable, but reading on shows that most of it is "About the church". SL93 (talk) 23:32, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

It's long enough and new enough. I fixed the citation needed tag situation (the information was in one of the cited sources). Now it's ready for a DYK review. --Orlady (talk) 03:27, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- I thought that all DYK articles need independent coverage. SL93 (talk) 21:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
(1) heavy reliance on non-independent sources. All the sources except AllView and Times of India are non-independent. Ref 2 appears to be independent, but adopts the first person ("we"), so is not independent. Ref 5 is a duplicate of ref 2. The article is sourced primarily to refs 2 and 5.
(2) close paraphrasing. The entire "history" section is closely paraphrased from refs 2 and 5. Examples:

Source versus article
"In the meantime the southern portion of the church land was leveled. At the extreme end a massive building was put up on eastern side with three floors and western end with first floor."	"In the meantime the southern portion of the church-owned land was leveled. At the extreme end a large building was erected with three stories on the eastern end and with a single story at the western end."
"The school had reached 6th class and he got permission for 5th class that too kannada medium as per government policy."	"By then, the school had received permission to conduct classes up to Standard VI, in Kannada medium as per government policy."
"Thereafter we received NOC to run the school under CBSE syllabus from the government through much effort dated 29. 11. 2003."	"Shortly afterwards, the school received an NOC from the government dated 29 November, 2003 to run under the CBSE syllabus."
"On the third floor a large A.V room was made. Adjoining the school, an Administrative block was built."	"On the third floor an A. V. room was made. Adjoining the school, an administrative block was built..."
"In administrative block and all the facilities were blessed by most Rev Dr. A. P. D'souza, Bishop of Mangalore and inaugurated by Mr. Oscar Fernandes, M.P on 13. 03. 2005. All these infrastructural facilities have cost us 1.5 crore of rupees."	"The administrative block and all other facilities were blessed by Rev. Dr. Aloysius Paul D'Souza, Bishop of Mangalore and inaugurated by Mr. Oscar Fernandes, M.P. on 13 March, 2005. The cost of developing these infrastructural facilities amounted to 1.5 crore rupees."
