I doubt if Chandragupta Maurya is a Jain. I read elsewhere in wikipedia that he was a Shudra. The fact that a particular emperor gives patronage to a particular religion does not put him into that religion. I have read that ancient Emperors/kings gave patronage to multiple religions :) Khalil Sawant 19:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC) I also have doubts about Deepak Chougle. Chougle sounds a Marathi Surname Khalil Sawant 19:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I do think that the a more specific name is a good idea so it becomes not just any Jain there is. However I'm not sure that we want to restrict it to just historical Jains which would rule out many living jains. Also the capitilisation is wrong it should be List of important Jains in history. -- Salix ( talk): 13:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
As it stands, this is not an encyclopedia article, and it could be subject to deletion or merging if it is not fixed. Lists cannot consist just of a list of people, but have to have some kind of context. -- Core des at talk! 01:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
The name of this article suggests a list of every single living Jain. it is simply famous ones ... plus its not very interesting and I think it may violate WP:ENC. I may suggest it for deletion after I have finished my homework. Jake95( talk!) 15:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Someone please help clean this mess up. The list is FULL of non-notable names! I suspect more than a handful of these names have edited wikipedia in recent times. Assistance will be appreciated. - Amog | Talk • contribs 18:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Do real Jaïnists play cricket?
Aren't they said to respect (life of) all kinds of living beings? But cricketplayers use bats and balls made out of wood; to obtain that wood a tree has to be cut = killed.
Furthermore cricket is played on a grassfield, of which grassplants are mowed repeatedly. Mowing is very violent for those plants and players indirectly cause it. -- VKing ( talk) 04:51, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
This article needs to be semi-protected. A lot of anon IP's and new comers (who have created an account for just editing this page) are indulging in blatant self-promotion and thus abusing this article. I request some admin to look into this matter.-- Indian Chronicles ( talk) 07:10, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

I am truly surprised by the names deleted by The Rahul Jain
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_Jains&diff=586446803&oldid=586224168 Most of names deleted are famous Jains. In any case there cannot be any dispute in the names of Padma Shri Awardess, Padma Bhushan Awardess and Padma Vibhushan Awardees.
Can someone please restore the names? Malaiya ( talk) 01:03, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
