Villárvattam

After reviewing the creator's contributions, and the fact that there is an ongoing AfD for another article that the author created, I believe this article should be deleted. It needs to be completely rewritten and perhaps moved to Raja Thoma Villarvattom. There definitely was a Hindu King who converted to Christianity. After his death, however, his lands passed to the Paliath Achan. This article makes a lot of dubious claims:

  • Villarvattom being an Empire.
  • Villarvattom conquering Muziris.
  • The Villarvattom dynasty existing from the 10th to the 14th century.
  • The Villarvattom dynasty being the most powerful Emprire in Ancient Kerala.
  • "King" Itty Thomman who was apparently the first king. Actually, he was a Syrian Christian Vicar who was also a local leader and led resistance efforts against the imposition of Roman Catholicism by the Portuguese.

Needless to say all of these claims are unsourced and I cannot find anything that will corroborate these claims. --vi5in 20:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment: No, the article should be deleted, because Villarvattom doesn't describe a Christian King. It describes a town/city/principality. A new article called Raja Thoma Villarvattom should be created, with proper information. --vi5in 16:15, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
