I hereby request the administration to move the page to replace 'Meenakshi temple' with 'Shri Meenakshi Sundareshwarar temple, Madurai', which is a historical temple and is very accurate to mention the temple in Madurai, because there are so many temples in the name of 'Meenakshi temple', in various parts of Tamil Nadu. Thank you. 2409:4072:639F:3999:0:0:2817:B0AD ( talk) 08:48, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
The references used in this article are mostly spammy and commercial links. Most of them have no any value as a source of authentication. Why do those references be removed? Akilash ( talk) 10:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
While the article is better is shape and style, but as a GA, the article fails "broad in coverage" criterion IMO. Expand the article. Write on the following

Meenakshi(eyes resembling fish) is the principal deity, but not Sundareswarar and she is worshipped on her own, although the festive occasion of her marriage to Sundareswarar is celebrated annually by 50,000 pilgrims

In "maps.google.com", it is wrongly described as 'This temple has a stunning architecture and a significant testimony for Vishwakarma Brahmins'. The right describtion is 'This temple has a stunning architecture and a significant testimony for Dravidians' as mensioned in wikipedia.org. |

Move to Meenakshi Temple. There is no need to disambiguate. Andrewa ( talk) 22:53, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
Many contributors to this and related articles and discussions seem to have no knowledge of English Wikipedia policies and procedures. The naming convention on which this RM and others have been based appears not to exist. There is consequently a long history of moves to this and other articles made purely on the basis of personal preference of the editor, and in some cases reversed by a following editor on a similar basis. It is possible that conventions used in other languages, and other language Wikipedias, have been at least part of the basis of these preferences, but these other language conventions have no authority here.
A significant amount of the article history appears to have been left at Meenakshi temple following this cut and paste move in 2006.
That title and Meenakshi Temple both redirect here. There appears to be no reason that this article should not be named Meenakshi Temple.
I have asked the closer of the earlier RM to comment. [4] Andrewa ( talk) 16:47, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
If, as is possible, there are many temples that go by the name of Meenakshi Temple but only this one is notable enough for an article, there are two possibilities at least:
However, it is not necessary to disambiguate this one. Andrewa ( talk) 17:44, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
I have now boldly removed the geographical disambiguator from the article now at Padmavathi Temple, see Talk:Padmavathi Temple#Unnecessary disambiguation. Andrewa ( talk) 22:50, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
