I'm not convinced this needs it's own article. Couldn't this be a part of an article about Hindu Epics overall? Like we don't have an article about the archetype of the greek hero, or other culture's hero stereotypes in ancient fiction, as far as I'm aware. I think most of those are within other articles. Is this WP:Notable? Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 04:34, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Indian mythology coins the term Maharathi extensively all over in the epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. Maharathi is a widely searched page in google and its a very good idea to keep it.I already added few links and references.I believe if maharathi page is properly linked to other articles other editors will surely add new references and new datas.I stronlgy reject the idea of merging it with other pages because if we do so the entire concept will be lost.So better keep this page and promote the link to this page so others may contribute and make it better.Arjunkrishna90 (talk) 04:04, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I heavily dispute that the content will be lost if merged with an article such as Hindu Mythology or Sanskrit Epics or Sanskrit Literature. I think such a merge would place the content in a more central location, and also would be easily googleable if a main subheading.--Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 18:49, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
