Inclusion of Raṅganātha in Ayōdhyā Kāṇḍa Section edit
I do not think it is appropriate to include mention of Raṅganātha in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa section. Firstly, there is no specific mention of Raṅga or Raṅganātha in the cited source ([1]). The cited lines state only that Rāma worshipped Nārāyaṇa in the Critical Edition of the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa. There is no mention of Raṅganātha, merely Nārāyaṇa.[2] Second, it is put in the main Rāmāyaṇa article's summary of the text's plot, and as such the summary should only contain the most critical pieces of information about the plot. The inclusion that Rāma worshipped Nārāyaṇa (or Raṅganātha, if it was mentioned so) as part of the pre-consencration rituals is unneccessary in a summary of the text. Pinging User:Narayanan Iyengar.

Regarding the removal of some entries in popular culture edit
Can't we put a warning about missing sources instead of removing the entries? @Chariotrider555 Tusharhero (talk) 02:06, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- User:Tusharhero, No, it will forever remain like that otherwise. It is the WP:BURDEN of whoever adds something to the list to make sure it has its own page or academic sources beyond a trivial mention to prove notability. Chariotrider555 (talk) 02:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
If written, what script was it when Valmiki wrote? edit
I am wondering that the script is definitely NOT Devanagiri. It may be in Brahmi or after Indus Scrip? Sarma Pisapati (talk) 19:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
