Moved to mainspace by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 22:48, 10 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

New enough in mainspace and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out to the British Library page and presumably the other offline sources. No textual issues, but I wanted to personally suggest the use of {{sfn}} for this type of format to use standardized citation templates; this will make it easier to manage footnotes and allows for better linking.

The Eight Great Events in the Life of Buddha → Eight Great Events – Per WP:CONCISE, WP:THE. "Eight Great Events" cannot possibly refer to anything else. see also Four Noble Truths ―Howard • 🌽³³ 12:06, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination, Four Noble Truths, Noble Eightfold Path, etc. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:49, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Eight Great Events already redirects here, which I think is enough. They are not nearly as well known as the Four Noble Truths, as the viewing figures show (1,234 vs 60), & the full name, mostly used in RS i think, helps readers. Johnbod (talk) 17:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
