Title[edit]

Based on historical ngram data, it's possible that "Namuchi" would be the preferred title for this, as English usage favors that over Namasu. Looking at the texts in question, it seems a historical text search for "Namuchi" returns mostly Hindu-oriented texts, while "Namasu" gets largely confused with Japanese texts.

Agreed. @Hinduistic, I think you should move this article to Namuchi. I also ask that you add the page numbers of your sources. This article could use some more primary sources as well. Chronikhiles ^(talk) 06:02, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Namuchi can be a name of an asura who is the brother of mayasura, here I am talking about Namuchi, son of mahabali. So, I can't move the article title Hinduistic (talk) 14:34, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hinduistic There is no issue regarding having multiple articles with figures of the same name on this website, especially since as far as I can tell, Namuchi is the common name rather than Namasu. So you can go ahead. Chronikhiles ^(talk) 05:00, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, booksfact.com does not appear to a reliable source, making unsubstantiated claims that Mahabali went to South America. Please look up reliable sources to know more about these guidelines. Thank you. Chronikhiles ^(talk) 05:08, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
