User:Quigley recently deleted the Tibetan Buddhism tag as he thought, "The Annals being mostly about pre-Buddhist Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism template inappropriate". I have reinstated it as the Annals give critical information about the events which led up to Buddhism being established in Tibet as a state-sponsored religion (such as the arrival of the Chinese Queen - who is credited with many of the earliest Buddhist establishments) and is, therefore, a most important source for understanding this very important event in Tibet's development.

The Old Tibetan Annals and the Old Tibetan Chronicle are two totally different documents. Compare their shelf numbers, dimensions, and content. They should certainly not be considered for merger. Tibetologist (talk) 10:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The document does not bear a title itself. 'Old Tibetan Annals' is just a convention, and one not universally followed (sometimes 'Royal Annals' etc.). So sorry, but there is no Tibetan name. --Tibetologist (talk) 06:50, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
