Should incarnations be included into wikipedia? I am not very sure about this article. Dengero (talk) 09:26, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Lord Krishna is an important deity in Hinduism AFAIK, and this information should be included here. Such incarnations usually have a lot of information about them, enough to make a good article by itself. The article needs some cleaning up and improvement, but I think it should stay.

 * True, but shouldn't these incarnations be discussed in context in the article on Krishna? - Mgm|(talk) 13:38, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, they should be mentioned in that article of course. But I think there are many such incarnations that have a lot of individual qualities/characteristics. Discussing all of these in the main article would not be practical since it would take a lot of space, and all that could be included there is a kind of overview and not the full details. If I'm wrong please correct me; I'm not an expert in the subject matter, I'm just commenting on what I seem to remember about these incarnations. If I'm wrong on this matter, then I think adding the necessary info to the main article will suffice.  C h a m a l  talk 15:17, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, Jesus is a Shaktyavesha Avatar, and He's very notable. Pulsaro (talk) 17:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, this article is a mess, and so are some of the arguments made above (i.e. Jesus is a Shaktyavesha Avatar, and he is notable. Notability is not inherited. Not all atributes of Jesus are notable, just because Jesus is notable). However, this seems to be a very important aspect of Hinduism, and is notable as such.
