Talk:The common end of myriad good deeds

Removal of proposed deletion

I just scratched the surface researching this, but it is obvious that there is an arguable case for keeping, or at least writing a section somewhere else. It would appear to be a major thread of Yanshou's philosophy. One of the sources in Yanshou's article is Welter (1992), The Meaning of Myriad Good Deeds: A Study of Yung-ming Yen-shou and the Wan-shan t'ung-kuei chi. The title would seem to indicate the book is about this topic, or else is a major feature of the book. Other book that talk about the saying [1][2][3] (these may not be the best sources, I just picked the first three that seemed vaguely relevant to the topic). A lot coming up in Chinese with 萬善同歸 as the search term.

It also seems the title of this article is a poor translation. The common end of myriad good deeds is found in sources and looks more meaningful to me. SpinningSpark 16:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: Should we rename to The common end of myriad good deeds? Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 13:38, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I think so, that does seem to be the more common translation. But we should wait till the AFD reaches a conclusion, it's confusing to move articles while a discussion is still open (unless you are intending to withdraw the nomination). SpinningSpark 13:48, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: I have withdrawn and closed the discussion, I'm going ahead to move. Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 13:50, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Spinningspark, wow, this is really the best title for it. A WP:before shows much now. Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 13:57, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
