Clearing out Category:Unknown-importance Buddhism articles

Category:Unknown-importance Buddhism articles currently has 1,500 entries in it. Similar to how Category:Unassessed Buddhism articles has been cleared out and as of writing is completely empty, I'd like to make it so that this category is also empty, so if anyone would like to join me in chipping away at these 1,500 unknown-importance articles I think we could make relatively quick work of it. - Aoidh (talk) 18:59, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

As an update, I've been whittling down the category and it's now at 500 entries. At this rate it should be empty within a month or so. - Aoidh (talk) 23:33, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Now down to 250 entries. - Aoidh (talk) 15:12, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

It's empty! It went from 2,500+ articles in June 2020 to 0 as of today. The intention and hope is that now we have a more complete picture of what articles are important in terms of the scope of this WikiProject. - Aoidh (talk) 03:21, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Great work! Well done. Johnbod (talk) 04:27, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Rebirth and Brahmanism

Could it be that the Buddha used a Brahmanical view of rebirth, but gave his own twist to it, as he did with other concepts? That is, the Brahmanical concept of re-embodiment of some atman, reinterpreted as the rebirth of ego? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 02:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Not sure where you're getting it, but I don't think so. Since suttas say he knew rebirth was true by abhinna, and its not like everyone even believed in rebirth in his time. Wikiman5676 (talk) 05:40, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation links to Early Buddhism

Could you help to fix links to the disambiguation page Early Buddhism? There are multiple links shown in this list which should probably link to Pre-sectarian Buddhism or Early Buddhist schools but I am not expert enough to know which. Any help appreciated.— Rod 12:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Just looking at that list, without the contexts, it doesn't strike me that there are that many obvious ones. Both those articles are pretty technical & unlikely to be what a reader of eg Japanese architecture (on the list I think) wants. In most cases a link to just History of Buddhism is likely to be best. Or History of Buddhism in India. What is meant by "early" varies enormously, but generally it all took place in India, well South Asia anyway. Johnbod (talk) 15:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
