Possible hoax?

Kalloor appears to be a WP:HOAX. Created August 31, 2005, not subatantially altered since. Only other inbound link is Shri Datta Venkata Sai Temple, itself made in 2009 and turning up no non-Wikipedia mirrors. It's possibly I'm missing something and these were just not translated properly from one of the many languages used in India. However, the lack of... anything on Kalloor, along with spurious claims of the apostle Thomas being killed there -- itself not supported by Thomas the Apostle. While Kalloor does appear to be a given name in India, the claims about the family name's origins are not backed up by any sources. As these also existed at the same time as the spurious claims of the city, it's very likely all of that is hoax too. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:09, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Created by an IP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/65.120.153.207 who also created Thrikkannamangal, a village which probably exists but it has a large unreferenced section on 'places of worship' that merits a review and possible blanking / moving to talk page. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:10, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Would anyone here be interested in reformatting this article so it's not in broken-up wikitables anymore? It's difficult to edit in this form, and I don't think it's really following the guidance at MOS:TABLES. -- asilvering (talk) 19:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
