Probably too specialized to be viable. I would keep these discussions within Wikipedia:WikiProject Hinduism. --Eastmain (talk) 21:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its a wide range of traditions -- but within the scope of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Hinduism with the specialised interest and review scope. Wikidās ॐ 21:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting project idea. May be a bit specialized, but it could work. Enough articles are within its scope. I recommend test-driving it as a task force within WP:VAISHNAVA for a while and see if it has potential to remain an active WikiProject. Also, is this going to cover Krishna-centered topics only, or simply anything related to Krishna and Krishna worship (i.e. Vaishnava topics). If it's the former, then Dvaita really shouldn't be within the scope of the project, since followers of the belief do not hold a Krishna-centered theology, but rather a Vishnu/Narayana-centered theology with emphasis on the belief that all major avatars (including Krishna) are "full" avatars of Vishnu. If it's the latter, the project may be better suited as a part of [WP:VAISHNAVA]]. The project box above is nice, by the way. --Shruti14 ^{t c s} 23:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
