I would like to discuss including my website http://www.GodsLovingKindness.com in the article for Daily devotionals as an example link. We have been doing daily christian devotionals for six years and counting. We have thousands of devotionals, and many people reference to our devotions in our archives. Please include our site as an example. Thank you! Edifier320 03:49, 1 November 2008 (UCT)
I suspect that the idea behind the section "Examples of daily devotionals" was noblely motivated, but the result is "advertising or promotion". Examples that are written out in text with citation to a reliable published source (not just any web page) would be appropriate. But this list of links to prosetylization and blogs is not what the Wikipedia is about. See Wikipedia is not a collection of links and Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Therefore, I propose removing the "Examples of daily devotionals" section until such time as it can be replaced with proper text with inline citation to reliable, published sources. -- Bejnar ( talk) 06:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
I removed the following that was placed under categories. If someone finds merit in some part of it, please wikify and add sourcing and links and place in a proper section when restoring. -- Bejnar ( talk) 02:49, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
After I reverted @ User:Darker Dreams addition of Buddhist practices, Darker Dreams restored them (instead of coming here to start a discussion) with the comment "Described article topic would be better named something like Daily devotional (Christian publication). General name should cover general subject or risks being wp:undue.)" That presupposes that there's an ambiguity here. Are there any sources that use the term "daily devotional" to describe any aspect of Buddhist practices? I found nothing indicating the use of this phrase to refer to anything Buddhist at either of the two articles Darker Dreams linked to, Buddhist devotion and Buddhānusmṛti.
