Reliable sources for the term dharmic religions?

Where are the reliable sources that use the term dharmic religions in the context of this article? Dharmic religions is a now deleted obscure neologism and should not be used throughout Wikipedia. I propose to use the alternative phrase Indian religions. The number of google scholar results for "Indian religions"+"Indian religion" is (45.600 + 84.200) while it is only (492+475) for "dharmic religions" +"dharmic religion".

Lists

Considering this is a summary article of the variety of cinematic traditions of Asia, why is there a huge pile of lists at the beginning? Equivalent articles such as Cinema of Europe, Cinema of South America, etc. contains no such information. This is definitely not how you write or structure an encyclopedia article. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout.--DerechoReguerraz (talk) 02:53, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Where in WP:LIST or WP:EMBED does it suggest that embedded lists are unacceptable in prose articles? All it's saying is that if the information can be presented in prose rather than as a list, then it should be presented in prose, but if that's not possible, then it's acceptable to present it as an embedded list. If you have any issues with the way it's presented as a list, then you should consider tagging the sections rather than deleting them, since it's clearly the presentation you're complaining about rather than the content.
