Talk:List of Buddhist temples

message: Is Tahoma One Drop Zen Monastery somehow particularly notable?  Is this self-promotion?  Should we really try to list every temple in the world, or only notable ones? - Nat Krause 08:38, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Tahoma One Drop Zen Monastery

message: I searched for Ryoanji and found nothing, so I started an article on the temple.  Then I discovered this page...  
My question is about the romanization of temple names.  Why are some given with a dash before the ji (as in Ryoan-ji) and some not?  I think we need to standardize this, and my vote is to leave out the dashes.  We also need to be adding a link to this list on the appropriate pages.  I think we could actually have a list of Japanese temples, or perhaps an article called Temples of Japan which would include a list.  Comments?  Exploding Boy 19:45, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
* See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28Japan-related_articles%29#Temples_and_shrines.  The correct form is -ji. Neier 05:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I always put the dash when I write a Japanese temple's name, but I can tell you Wikipedia is the only place I know who does that, and I still haven't understood the why. Too late now to change, but I think the dash is absurd. The Manual of Style isn't gospel.

message: Why did no one add Toronto? They have a very large amount of temples, invluding BLIA's temple -- Shandristhe azylean cat 11:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: For example, the ones that Mahmud Ghazan destroyed. Also, a short sentence definition of what is a Buddhist temple, just in general (what's happening inside? what are the standard contents/artifacts?), at the top of the article - would be helpful. John Hyams 17:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A list of known destroyed temples would be helpful 

message: I really think that this page is rather pointless, as the whole task is impossible.  What is the purpose of this page anyway?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmlee369 (talk • contribs) 19:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A solution would be to restrict the list to existing articles (blue links only). Regards, High on a tree (talk) 23:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree that this page is impractical because it would take full-time staff to build and maintain an accurate list.  Restricting the page to existing links may be practical.   Klima (talk) 13:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree with this and will start implementing it soon if there is no objection. Yworo (talk) 20:40, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Why don't you simply categorize the articles appropriately. This article just serve as a category page and doesn't give any useful information. There should have been an overview of temples. Or table of temples with relevant facts specially when a temple cannot become a standalone article. But this page just gives a mere list of existing articles. අනංගයා (talk) 08:58, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Purpose of this page 

message: "Buddhist temple" redirects here. What I was really looking for when I searched for that term was a description of the purposes of a Buddhist temple, what takes place in these structures, etc. Would it not make sense for there to be an article about the concept of a Buddhist temple itself, which would then link here?
