Untitled edit
Recommend against merging. "Vallabh Acharya" not objective as "Vallabhacharaya" is.
Vishnuswami edit
I read somewhere that VIshnuswami and Vallabhacharya were two different people and currently Vishnuswami redirects to Vallabhacharya. Could someone say something more about it? Kkrystian (talk) 17:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- I believe that Vishnuswami was the founder acharya of the Rudra Sampradaya, whereas Vallabhacharya is the most prominent teacher within that sampradaya in more 'recent' times. I found this link: from indiadivine. In which case Vishnuswami should really be an article in itself rather than a redirect to here. Well spotted. Regards, Gouranga(UK) (talk) 21:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- I will add this information to the page to have consistent picture as far as redirect. Wikidās ॐ 21:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Champaranya in East Champaran Bihar. edit
There is a reference, that Vallabhacharya was born in Champaranya. The place mentioned is now called Champaran and it is part of East Champaran in Bihar. However, here it is mentioned that Champaranya is in Chattisgarh. I doubt the veracity of the fact. Secondly, Chattisgarh is totally towards the south of Bihar where as the pilgrimage was undertaken to Vaishali region. I am just browsing it and after counter checking the facts, I will myself correct.
In light of above mentioned argument, it should not be put under Chattisgarh section. Sumir sumir sharma —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumir Sharma (talk • contribs) 14:05, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
From the article:
"He is widely considered as the last of the four great Vaishnava Acharyas who established the various Vaishnava schools of thought based on Vedantic philosophy, the other three (preceding him) being Ramanujacharya, Madhvacharya and Nimbarkacharya."
It seems that the author of this article has never heard of Sri Caitanya and Gaudiya vaishnava sampradaya. 94.253.141.205 (talk) 05:57, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Vallabha Acharya → Vallabha – Per WP:HONORIFICS, Acharya is a honorific, his name is usually not spelled with a space in between the name, sources present in the article name it as Vallabha or Vallabhacharya, Britannica has its article at Vallabha. South Indian Geek (talk) 17:08, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- Support As per nominator. See also, Ramanuja (Ramanujacharya), Drona (Dronacharya), et al.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 16:37, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- Support See this chart for relative use of the two terms in sources. Additionally, beyond the Britannica source mentioned by nominator, please see this tertiary source. Beyond the title, the article is weak, needs some attention. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 17:06, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Vallabha Bhatta is not Vallabh Acharyaji edit
Vallabhacharyaji is a Goswami (not Bhatt), in the lineage of Vishnu Swami, founder and most famous Guru of Pushtimarg. Not Vallabh Bhatta, which is mentioned in "Past times of Chaitnayaji". Not Associated with Gaudya Sampraday aka sect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.112.147.120 (talk) 20:11, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
Extremely biased edit
The whole article needs a critical rewrite--it reads like a religious hagiography and not an encyclopedia article, especially the accounts of his personal life that deal with visions and encounters with deities with dubious credibility. TheBabelTower (talk) 23:58, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
