Kausalya[edit]

Her role is limited to being a consort, a mother and a wife. There's not much written about her besides that. Capankajsmilyo^{(Talk | Infobox assistance)} 01:18, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose all significant characters in Ramayana. can be retained as stubs.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 05:32, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose all Ramayana is not a random work of fiction; it is one of the most significant epics of India and it's perfectly reasonable that characters in it have pages of their own. Dear nominator please respect on your country's greatest work. Dear @Whiteguru: How do you think? Thanks Cape Diamond MM (talk) 11:42, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Mother of God, Lord Rama, deserves her page. The child Rama, when he was brought into the Hall where Dasaratha, Kausalya and Vasishta were together, touched the feet of Kausalya first, of Dasaratha next and of Vasishta last - thereby demonstrating that it was aware of the ancient discipline: "Revere the mother as God, revere the father as God; revere the preceptor as God". So, Oppose. Whiteguru (talk) 21:10, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be deleted[edit]

I have restored the content about Ravana's father to the Vishrava page where it belongs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishrava ... The main Ramayana article already has a good list of characters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramayana#Characters This article should be DELETED. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurakgibbs (talk • contribs) 18:17, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Merge[edit]

I propose to merge Subahu into this article since there's not much content. Capankajsmilyo^{(Talk | Infobox assistance)} 03:08, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Undone the merge not done per WP:PROMERGE (no copy paste notices and credit to Subahu writers). Subahu is an independent character referred in various versions of the epic.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 05:40, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
