Talk:Hemachandra

Untitled

I've removed all instancaes of the phrase "Gopala-Hemachandra numbers." The article said that the Fibonacci sequence is "called" that, but it doesn't appear that this is true. it might be more just if it were called that, but the facts seem to be that nobody actually does. The cited paper on "The Gopala-Hemachandra numbers and music" does not contain the phrase "Gopala-Hemachandra numbers", and in fact is titled "The Rhythm of Poetry". -- Dominus 15:01, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Change in Name

Change name to Hemachandracharya or Hemacandrācārya ASAP. There is a urgent need to change the name of the article as Hemacahndra is not famously used instead Hemachandracharya is famously used. Citations are as follows–

@Rishabh.rsd: You removed my comment in your previous edit. --Gazal world (talk) 12:47, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Agreed. Even in school, I read his name as 'Hemachandracharya' at every point in textbooks. P.S: The Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature mention him as Hemachandra, however I believe that we should change to article title to Hemachandracharya. --Gazal world (talk) 12:48, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

@Gazal world:oh sorry! by mistake i removed the comment thanks for the reply.. So now can we change the article name or we should wait for more responses?Rishabh.rsd (talk) 09:12, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Pinging Nizil Shah for opinion. --Gazal world (talk) 09:22, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

I think Hemachandra is OK. Postfix Acharya is honorific. Hemachandracharya should be redirected here. There are many more Jain monk articles where we avoid honorifics. We avoid honorifics wherever possible as per WP:NCIN. Only in rare cases honorifics are included if it is an established common name including in academic sources. I don't think it is a case which needs honorific. Nizil (talk) 06:05, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

@@Nizil Shah: The Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University (official website) is named after Hemachandracharya also the Wikipedia page relating to the university has the same name so it is established common name in academic sources. Therefore I think the name should be changed.Rishabh.rsd (talk) 07:52, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Oh. I see. Most English and German language sources/books refers him by Hemachandra. For example: See, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] and many more. So, I think 'Hemachandra' is OK. --Gazal world (talk) 14:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Hemchandracharya already redirects here. It is well known name for sure but we generally avoid honorifics wherever possible. Academic sources also supports Hemachandra name too so we should choose it to do away with honorific. Regards, Nizil (talk) 05:02, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
