  • Comment: Oh, also WP:NPOV is heavily violated by much of the lead, including "one of the most outstanding places" but not limited to... everything else. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:38, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Seems to likely be a notable temple, but the article needs a severe structure alignment. This subject has no need for an "exact location" section when a "location" section would totally suffice. The "More" section is not structured well and should be removed, and the reflist looks to be broken, and without inline citations. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:37, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
