Talk:Buddhism in the United Kingdom

message: There is a lot of duplication between this page and 'Buddhism in England' and 'Buddhism in Scotland'. 'Buddhism in Northern Ireland' has no page, and 'Buddhism in Wales' is very short. I suggest deleting all of these other pages and merging the information into a single 'Buddhism in the United Kingdom' page. Any objections? (SAM)
:I disagree with your solution but agree that things need to be improved. Where there is duplicated information in the 'Buddhism in the United Kingdom' article, it should be removed. The solution to short articles is to expand them - not to merge them. Cheers Fishiehelper2 (talk) 19:05, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

message: To give estimates of numbers of Buddhists supplied by a Budhist propaganda organization without the far smaller figures from the census is biased. Peter jackson (talk) 12:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Western figures about religious affiliation are all Christian-oriented and heavily underestimate other religions. Regarding the Chinese population in UK: I think the statement that Christians are more than Buddhists is Christo-evangelical USA-style propaganda. Perhaps Buddhists in UK are far more than 100-150 thousand, and most of them are Chinese. --Esimal (talk) 22:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: These figures are taken from the census, in which people were asked their religion & ethnic group. About 150,000 put down Buddhist & about 174,000 other (ie than Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh). Allowing for a reasonable number of not stated, that still cannot give anything like the 740,000 claimed by the VF. Are you accusing the census office of fakingg the results? Why would they want to do that? This is a secular society, not an evangelical one like a lot of the USA. Conspiracy theories generally have no place in Wikipedia.
