Merge

Digambara Terapanth should be merged into this article due to lack of sourced content. Capankajsmilyo (talk) 13:35, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: there are sufficient references to support independent notability. Klbrain (talk) 19:45, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

non-monks?

This article seems to be all about monks. What about the average person who belongs to this path? Do they wear clothes? What about at home? Do they have children and go out at night? etc. --142.163.195.93 (talk) 16:14, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-Very little independently sourced unique content. Sourcing in general quite weak. Could probably be merged into a paragraph or so here once all the unnecessary, unsourced content is trimmed. Doesn't seem enough for standalone article. <span style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;color:#004d80;"> [[User talk:Begoon|Begoon]]</span> 14:23, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
-* '''Support''' per above [[User:Capankajsmilyo|Capankajsmilyo]] ([[User talk:Capankajsmilyo|talk]]) 15:50, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
-* I think it should be merged into [[Jain schools and branches]]. [[Kanji Swami]], the founder of [[Kanji Panth]] was a [[Sthānakavāsī]] ascetic and unlike Digambara ascetics didn’t abandon any possessions till very last. I had once stumbled upon a booklet in which the members of the Digambara sect had clearly mentioned that ''Kanji Panth'' is wrongly associated with Digambara sect and beliefs of people belonging to ''Kanji Panth'' are in direct contradiction of what is written in their scriptures.–[[User:जैन|Nimit]] ([[User talk:जैन|talk]]) 10:35, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
-*'''Please do not merge''' [[Kanji Panth]] is a new and unique tradition founded by Kanji Swami.  Kanji Swami was indeed once a  Sthānakavāsī ascetic, but he had given up that affiliation and declared himself a Digambara shravaka. They are Digambara, and worship Digambara idols, although they are somewhat distinct from traditional Digambaras (Bispanthi or Terapanthi).  [[User:Malaiya|Malaiya]] ([[User talk:Malaiya|talk]]) 03:43, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
-*'''Oppose''' [[Kanji Panth]] is a unique tradition with different principles than any other sect.

-I propose to merge [[Yapaniya]] into this article since there is not enough material for a separate article. [[User:Capankajsmilyo|Capankajsmilyo]]<sup>([[User talk:Capankajsmilyo|Talk]] | [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/assistance|Infobox assistance]])</sup> 07:36, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
-::Please do not merge [[Yapaniya]] here. The [[Yapaniya]] were a distinct order that were distinct from modern Digambaras and Shwetambaras. The Yapaniya order was of considerable historical importance.[[User:Malaiya|Malaiya]] ([[User talk:Malaiya|talk]]) 19:24, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
