November 30, 2006. The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that

Siddhartha's
Buddhahood? | ||||||||||||
Current status: Delisted good article |
This article is stable, neutral, and quite well written. But it is not yet sufficiently broad in its coverage of the topic and more content is needed.
I would like to see an expanded lead section, perhaps three or four paragraphs long, which summarises the main points of the article (see WP:LEAD). I would also suggest a section immediately following the lead where more context is given for those readers who are unfamiliar with basic Buddhist history and terminology. Some events surrounding the birth of Siddartha at Lumbini and his early life could be usefully discussed here.
Later in the article, there seems to be a sudden jump to the "Later years" section and I wonder if some additional material could smooth the transition to this section. I found the second last paragraph of the article (about reincarnations) difficult to follow and think it should be re-written.
My other main suggestion is that the citations be improved by making sure that references to books include page number where possible. More than one in-text citation may be needed to support infomation provided in long paragraphs.
I've decided to put this article on hold as the article has the potential for GA status, however the issues noted above must be dealt with before GA status can be awarded. I hope that this can be addressed within the seven days allowed by on hold, and wish you all the best with your editing... -- Johnfos 10:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Are all the red links potential articles? If not, they need not be wikilinked. It doesn't look good in the article and it confuses many new readers. Lara Love 14:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

There is nothing to indicate that the Koundinya mentioned in the book about yoga poses is the same as the Buddhist figure. I have not come across any sources that say that the Buddhist Kaundinya founded a Koundinya Gotra.-- Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 08:53, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
