This article has no references and is unverifiable. It is not clear whether this is meant to be presented as historical fact or as an account of a legend. Different sorts of verification are required for history and for legend, but both require references.

Google search does not turn up any reliable sources, only vanity hits related to this piece.

Draftifying might be appropriate, but this was already draftified once and moved to article space by the author, so it is time for a regular Articles for Deletion discussion, with draftifying as an option only if the author agrees. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:32, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The creator clearly doesn't understand what an article needs to be acceptable for publication here. WP:Golden rule would be a good start (and that page is referenced frequently in AFC rejections). ~Anachronist (talk) 00:13, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article duplicates equally poorly cited content at Dugar. It looks like her name is also transliterated as Susvani and Susani, in which case the temple that she is associated with at Morkhana meets the notability bar as a a protected monument (at List_of_Monuments_of_National_Importance_in_Rajasthan as the questionably named redlink Jain Temple of Susani Goddess), with reasonable evidence of book coverage, and she could be covered under that. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 04:42, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - Suswani is a Kuladevata (see [1]) in Morkhana, Rajasthan, a village that does not have a wikipedia page. Kuladevata are family/clan/lineage deities, and it isn't clear to me that they are all suitable for encyclopedia articles (if a family isn't, then the family traditions generally wouldn't be). In this case, it seems she is a goddess for the an entire, if tiny, village, but I'm not sure and I can't find a RS for this. As for an article for the temple, I'd go with Jain Temple of the Goddess Susani (or Suswani or Susvani, depending on the taste of the article creator).

Delete This object of this article seems to be to host an image. However the text (with no references) has the feel of the synopsis of a film or TV scenario, not an encyclopaedic article. If someone else can provide a suitable merge target, I would not wish to object. However this deserves TNT: delete and start again. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:57, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
