Moved to mainspace by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 22:48, 10 July 2022 (UTC).
New enough in mainspace and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out to the British Library page and presumably the other offline sources. No textual issues, but I wanted to personally suggest the use of {{sfn}} for this type of format to use standardized citation templates; this will make it easier to manage footnotes and allows for better linking.

The Eight Great Events in the Life of Buddha → Eight Great Events – Per WP:CONCISE, WP:THE. "Eight Great Events" cannot possibly refer to anything else. see also Four Noble Truths ―Howard • 🌽33 12:06, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nomination, Four Noble Truths, Noble Eightfold Path, etc. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:49, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Eight Great Events already redirects here, which I think is enough. They are not nearly as well known as the Four Noble Truths, as the viewing figures show (1,234 vs 60), & the full name, mostly used in RS i think, helps readers. Johnbod (talk) 17:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
