Rfc on religion of Chandragupta Maurya

[edit]

Currently theirs a lot of scholarly sources rejecting Chandraguptas conversion to Jainism.Should this be listed on infobox.I think a Rfc is necessary here.Edasf (talk) 16:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Edasf: I don't think a Rfc is necessary here: I see zero evidence that WP:RFCBEFORE has been tried, let alone exhausted. Just discuss in the normal way. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the current situation, with the health warnings is probably fine. I wouldn't be opposed to removing the religion field from the infobox altogether. I probably would be opposed to just stating "Brahmanical religion" and saying nothing about Jainism in the infobox, since that would seem to be picking a particular position on an issue that seems to be subject to some dispute.

The infobox already says "according to Jain-sources," and there is an explanatory note with quotes; that suffices. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 06:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am proposing that we should just remove religion field altogether on Infobox for these ancient kings who's religion is quite debatable.I don't know what benefit would one get from knowing religion with long explanatory notes on Infobox.We should rather talk it in later in page.

I don't mean kings like Ashoka here who's religion is quite undisputed. Edasf (talk) 17:40, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That seems reasonable to me. If data is so complicated that it needs a proviso, it's probably too complicated for an infobox Furius (talk) 18:49, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting proposal; makes sense. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 20:59, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
