:: {{ping|Buidhe}} Do you seriously questioning? ”ငါးရာ့ငါးဆယ့်အနှစ်ချုပ်” [“A Summary of the Five Hundred and Fifty (Jātakas)”] is an explanation of the Buddhist Jātakas by a Burmese Pali scholar…why is it not reliable? Khin Cho Tun Serpay is the name of the publishing house. This book is not written by a random or untrained writer but by a Pali scholar. Actually, the Jātakas are covered in countless sources, and a quick search shows over 100 books. The whole article could be supported by this one source alone. I added extra English links as backup and to make it easier for readers and other editors to understand in English. If you are not happy with this hook, sure, I will change it. But it is not cool to consider the Buddha’s life as fictional, and please respect Buddhist culture. If you consider Buddhism fictional, then Holy Jesus should also be. I have successfully nominated mythological figures to DYK, such as [[Template:Did you know nominations/Ko Myo Shin]], and there was no issue even though he is a folk deity.

:::It’s not relevant but I don’t believe any religion. I think mythological hooks at DYK should contain at least partly out of universe elements, and more importantly the guideline backs me up on this. I didn’t know anything about the author or publishing house until you told me.

- Thanks for the review @Buidhe:. I have updated the hook to be fully compliant with WP:DYKFICTION. I also noticed your concern about the Scribd book view, so I have replaced the Scribd link with a Google Books limited-preview version. I have completed the QPQ as well. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know. Thanks! Hteiktinhein (talk) 02:05, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
- Why are Khin Cho Tun Sarpay and “Library of Alexandria” reliable publishers? Is there any independent reception or analysis that could be added? I don’t believe we should have articles about mythological or fictional topic that are all basically a long plot section. DYKFICTION says that “mythology hooks should be more than a plot summary”, and I don’t think that this passes the test. (t · c) buidhe 02:11, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
