No reason for using Devanagari in Buddhist articles

It seems there are certain users that want to add Devanagari script renditions of terms in numerous articles about Buddhism on Misplaced Pages. There seems to be no good reason for this, other than perhaps nationalistic or revisionist ones.

Devanagari does not come from the time of the Buddha or from the time of Ashoka (from which date the first Buddhist related inscriptions), as the wki article says it reached regular use by the 7th century CE.

None of the major Buddhist canons (Tibetan, Chinese, Pali) are recorded in Devanagari, they use Chinese, Tibetan script and various South Asian scripts like Sinhala or Burmese. None of the major publications of these canons use Devanagari. Even the Sanskrit Buddhist texts are mostly not published in Devanagari, but use IAST instead. None of the main scholarly publications on Sanskritic Buddhism use Devanagari either, they all use IAST (for example: Siderits and Katsura 's "Nagarjuna's Middle Way: Mulamadhyamakakarika").

It makes absolutely no sense to put Devanagari in Buddhist articles. For these reasons, I am removing any instance of these that I see. Anyone have any objections? Javierfv1212 14:12, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

I agree with this. Stick to the traditional Buddhist Canon languages or national languages when relavent. Wikiman5676 (talk) 18:43, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Agree per proposal and reasons given at WP:INDICSCRIPT.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 20:42, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject Mysticism

I wonder whether any one in this WikiProject would be interested in my proposal for a "WikiProject Mysticism" that I have made at Misplaced Pages: WikiProject Council. Vorbee (talk) 18:21, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Unknown-importance Buddhism articles

Category:Unassessed Buddhism articles has been kept low or empty for some time, but I noticed that Category:Unknown-importance Buddhism articles has just over 2,500 articles listed, so I'm going to see what dent I can put in that number, but if anyone would like to help it would be appreciated, and of course if anyone disagrees with my assessment of any article I won't take offense if you feel it needs to be changed or if the change should be discussed. - Aoidh (talk) 13:41, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
