Keep His correct name is Budhayana. There are enough sources in Gbooks and Gscholar to source the stub. I have added references now. Article has be moved to Budhayana once AfD is over. Redirect to Baudhayana per David Eppstein. Why didnt i see that before!!!--Sodabottle (talk) 11:29, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Sodabottle's new sources. Gonzonoir (talk) 15:46, 26 March 2010 (UTC)Joining the redirect bandwagon - well spotted David Eppstein. All I'd suggest is adding this as an (admittedly apparently rare) synonym on the Baudhayana page. Gonzonoir (talk) 13:35, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]- Note: This article has been nominated for rescue.

- Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. SilverserenC 00:41, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I have added some of the sources that Sodabottle linked to. With the number of academic references, he is clearly notable. SilverserenC 00:41, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy redirect to Baudhayana. With respect to Sodabottle, I'm not impressed by the sources listed, as none of them seem to constitute actual mathematical history scholarship, so I don't think there is anything worth merging in the present article. But as far as I can tell this is attempting to describe the same person as Baudhayana. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:18, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The article says 6th century but it's becoming apparent that it should read 6th century BC. There is no telling who the article's creator meant, but Baudhayana seems as good a theory as any so I wouldn't object to the redirect.--RDBury (talk) 03:44, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A merger may well be appropriate but it is not clear which is the best title for the combination. Deletion is not going to be needed. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:39, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Baudhayana. It is fairly evident that this describes the same person, if there even was a person. What we actually have are the "Baudhayana Sutra"s, and there is some confusion whether Baudhayana was a person or a vṛddhi derivation from Budhayana (then "Baudhayana" would mean "of Budhayana"). Either way, there's only one article here. Shreevatsa (talk) 21:57, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Someone should have made this version of the name a redirect a long time ago and this would have never been an issue. (*is slightly annoyed that he spent time looking for sources*) :P SilverserenC 22:01, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
