Buddhist Brâhmans

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reason Ogress smash! 18:55, 31 May 2015 (UTC) This is not encyclopedic: it's a page conglomerating all the references to people who were connected to Buddhism who were Brahmans. Are we really going to drag casteism into Wikipedia? Such not a notable subject. It's a glorified list covering 2500 years of history and sketchy verification at best, especially if you know anything about the history of caste in India - the word "brahman" is so malleable.

 * Delete: Appears to be wholesale SYNTH with dubious sourcing.  This mixes a Hindu tradition with Buddhism, confuses Bhikshus with Brahmans, has very bizarre sourcing to sources that don't seem to fit the premise of the article, and, indeed, seems to be a random list of Buddhists who happened to be of a particular social class... we may as well have "Buddhist celebrities" and include Richare Gere or something... :-P.

 * Speedy delete under WP:CSD once the SPI case is adjudicated. Pervious AFDs for articles in this series include Articles for deletion/List of Atavika Hindu saints and similar articles (with varying titles) have been created dozens of time by the puppet-master.
