• You created it with a {{rfd}} template as its only content. SemperBlotto (talk) 08:43, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
  • I mean why you delete it on 6 January 2017--2001:DA8:201:3512:9AC:2050:31FD:4F68 09:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
    • I think the Jan. 6 entry is valid. Maybe it should be moved to Amitabha (without the macron). —Stephen ^(Talk) 17:07, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Maybe Amitābha can be kept as a romanisation of Sanskrit अमिताभ (amitābha) instead of being an English entry, just like the entries in Category:Chinese romanizations, Category:Transliterations of Sanskrit terms, etc. --YURi (talk) 02:58, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

If it's attestable in English (and I suspect it will be), then it's fine as it is. I agree with Stephen that the version without the macron may be more common in English, in which case the version with the macron can be transformed into the alternative form of that word. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 03:18, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

 Done: I've cited and tidied it up. — SMUconlaw (talk) 18:50, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Unless there are any objections I think we can consider this one passed. — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:56, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
