(Old) Proposed move from Panini to Panini (grammarian)

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

I have requested that this article be moved to "Panini (grammarian)" and that "Panini" be redirected to "Panini (disambiguation)". Please give your opinions. Petecarney 12:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We don't normally redirect pages from "X" to "X (disambiguation)" (see WP:MDP). Thus, the request is effectively to move Panini (disambiguation) to Panini, having moved the current Panini to Panini (grammarian). --Stemonitis 14:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Panini to Panini (grammarian) and Panini (disambiguation) to Panini. Too many uses and sandwich might be the primary use. Vegaswikian 04:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Panini to Panini (grammarian) and Panini (disambiguation) to Panini per Vegaswikian. — AjaxSmack 06:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been renamed from Panini to Panini (grammarian) as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 07:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If not at Panini, this article should reside at Pāṇini. Panini should still redirect here. The sandwich correctly resides at Panino. dab (𒁳) 08:12, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"traditional date"

doing a literature search, I fail to find any source that would establish a traditional date for Panini of 520-460 BC. Lots of shoddy websites have it, to be sure (and there is no telling how many got it from Wikipedia), but no WP:RS. I am removing this pending citation. My suspicion is that the 520 BC date arose from speculation that Panini must date to after Darius' invasion. This would qualify not as a "traditional date" at all, but as a misunderstood scholarly estimate of a terminus post quem. If I am missing something, please do cite this "tradition". dab (𒁳) 10:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Life

There is very little in this article about Pāṇini's life—even granting that not much is known, there is a lot that can be included, see e.g. pages 1983–2007 (and more) here: Singh, Nagendra Kr. (ed.), Encyclopaedia of Hinduism, pp. 1983–2007, ISBN 9788174881687. It would be great if someone included some of this. Thanks, Shreevatsa (talk) 22:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yavanānī / yavanānā

The third paragraph under "Date and context" begins

An important hint for the dating of Pāṇini is the occurrence of the word yavanānī (यवनाना)

The devanagari says yavanānā (note last letter). I don't know which is correct, the devanagari or the transliteration. --Wcomm (talk) 08:11, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
