Red Swastika Society[edit]

Almost zero information, a Google search turned up only 1,230 results. Coolgamer 23:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Abstain for now. It's the Buddhist equivalent of the Red Cross/Red Crescent, as I recall. There's a reference or two in Iris Chang's The Rape of Nanking (which I don't have to hand, so I'll look it up later). --Calton | Talk 01:51, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This page talks about people mistaking the Red Swastika Society for a Red Cross affiliate. From this archived page (text is white on white -- view source if necessary) it seems to be the philanthropic branch of Tao-yuan. There's some discussion on Red crescent about the (non-)foundation of an International Red Swastika, with Crystal winning out instead. Anyhow, whatever this is, it's not that, so as the article stands now speedy delete per A1. — mendel ☎ 03:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Expand - have heard of it... --MacRusgail 20:49, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Expand - I haven't heard of it, but it looks interesting enough to be encyclopaedic. (Could the apparent lack of information be because it's mainly documented in Chinese languages?) --A bit iffy 09:59, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appears to exist in various forms; through google I find references to Taiwainese, Indian, and other versions. May be difficult to document, but as a sister of the RC/RC it seems inherently notable to me. Bikeable 17:45, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
