Talk:Gyalwang Drukpa

message: It would be nice if some devotee would fill out the table of the 12 Gyalwang Drukpa incarnations.  I'll put the table outline on the page & someone who knows the details can fill it in. -- technopilgrim 19:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: List of Gyalwang Drukpa

message: Do quotations from the Gyalwang Drukpa's home page or those of Drukpa organizations effectively under his control, or run by devoted disciples, amount to  self-published sources? - I wonder about this since we are told "Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons". 
The same thing of course applies of course to many articles about other living lamas on Wikipedia many of which seem to be largely cut-and-paste jobs from the organizations or Dharma centers associated with particular lamas.  Chris Fynn (talk) 14:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Sources

message: A photo of mine of H.H. Gyalwang Drukpa in alice Springs, Australia was removed by User:175.139.73.208. This seems to be the only edit this person has made on Wikipedia. As no reason for the deletion were given I have reversed the deletion. If you think there is a good and sufficient reason to delete it please leave a message here explaining why you wish to remove it. Sincerely, John Hill (talk) 21:45, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Restored deleted photo

message: Is there any particular reason for half the photos in the article being negatives? 79.97.226.247 (talk) 13:38, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Negative photographs 

message: This article seems to be dominated by material about the present Gyalwang Drukpa, not about the whole Gyalwang Drukchen, or Gyalwang Drukpa  incarnation lineage and institution (which is what the article title implies). Most of the material about the current Gyalwang Drukpa would really be more appropriate moved to a separate article. According to Wikipedia conventions, that article should normally  be placed under the present Gyalwang Drukpa's  name rather than his title.  - but the WP article for the current Dali Lama is under 14th Dalai Lama while the article for the whole lineage / institution of Dalai Lama's is under Dalai Lama - so I suppose there is a clear precedent for doing something similar here. Tge present article should mostly be an overview of the institution and whole history of the Gyalwang Drukpa  lineage.  Chris Fynn (talk) 14:24, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article may need dividing 

message: This section of the article, apparently added by ,  may be disputed by others - "Forced conversion" seems to be a pretty strong and contentious claim and, where such claims are made in a WP article, there  really needs to be a reliable and neutral (independent) source cited. Posts on Facebook, or on websites affiliated with the subject, are not reliable or independent sources. If it is not better sourced, then this section should be deleted.

message: Is it really appropriate to uncritically identify somebody as being a reincarnation? To state that the individual is believed to be the reincarnation might be fine, but to state it uncritically is to give credence to the idea that defies the scientific objectivity expected of an encyclopedia.
