• Delete - Unlikely solidly better notable and improvable for an article yet. SwisterTwister talk 06:33, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• Keep It is a well known website on Internet which offers translation of Buddhists scriptures in various languages. Its very informative also. No NEED for deletion at all. Buddhist Scholars use this website for scholarly purposes. It's a quite well known website in the Buddhist world. Terabar (talk) 11:07, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
• My apologies if this is the wrong place to respond. In response to Capitals00, I did not spam anything, and would appreciate it if you withdrew that accusation. Look at the cases you cite. In the first two links you give, I removed a link to metta.lk and replaced it with a suttacentral link. metta.lk is an archaic and poorly maintained site, which frequently experiences downtime. In fact it is down as I write this. I replaced this with an accurate and reliable link to a modern site. In the third link, I replaced a link to search.nibbanam.com, which just leads to a "coming soon" notice. In the final case, I added a link to the text where there was none in the original post. In none of these, or any other cases, have I spammed Misplaced Pages. The pages are obviously improved by my edits. My only mistake, which I freely acknowledge, was that I didn't carefully read the guidelines for making edits—they are long and complicated and I don't have the time. So yes, I am the developer for SuttaCentral and, according to the strict rules, I should not have made these edits. My bad. But I believed—and still do—that the edits are obviously required, in order for the relevant pages to stay up to date with current web resources. It is absurd to characterize this as spamming. The appropriate response would have been to send me a personal message informing me of that rule and asking that I comply with it in future.
