Non-notable title in Burmese... doesn't belong as an article Ogress _smash! 22:58, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

• Strong Keep , SayadawGyi is notable Title in Burmese such as Sayadaw is notable monk title, may see more at Sayadaw,

Gyi is also notable Title for Burmese in Myanmar / Burma such as Sayagyi U Ba Khin whereas " gyi" word and India such as Goenkaji/ Goenka gyi (in Burmese way) S. N. Goenka

Both combining two words just make it greater ranking person as Sayadawgyi. Sayadaw Title word taken by normal monk and Saya (master) for normal person Title ( non-monk) in Burmese.

Gyi in Burmese literally make it greater person and "Gyi" word quite widely use in ranking as senior. For example Corporal rank in Burmese Army addressing as "Saya" but for Sergeant rank as " Sayagyi", same in schools' customs- normal teacher as "Saya" and headmaster as " Sayagyi", as well as "Bogyoke" means Major General like Aung San and "Bogyokegyi" means full general. " when added Gyi word after front Title then it get changed.

Sayadawgyi can be senior monk/ Abbot, normally much senior in time/ year(s) than normal junior monk, often may in-charge of world monastery or Meditation Centre or have been monk for many years, little similar to Guruji , guruji Title in India but that's Buddhist stuff. Burmese addressing in different ways so shouldn't make mistake rather than who they referring to rather than not by calling their names to make it polite, like using words "Your Majesty" in Royal , they mostly won't address direct name for normal monks and higher monks unless needed.

Sayadawgyi or Sayadawpayagyi Title is widely well-known in Burmese communities in Myanmar.

please may also see more about Saya Burmese in Saya Gyi U Ba Khin , Saya Aye, Saya San, Saya Tin

Please it is in Burmese language in Title and the nominator doesn't speak Burmese ( can't speak i believe), non-Buddhist i hope, wasn't born there and doesn't know Myanmar culture well ,so please leave it for some other nations' culture and customs usages to share knowledge for world communities, let people know and keep much better contribute.

Please may just Edit upgrade by some Burmese experts and make it better article.

• Keep - honorifics are highly significant to certain cultures and the most common/significant ones are deserving of articles. —Мандичка^YO 😜 00:30, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment You think gyi and sayadawgyi are the most common/significant of honorifics? Ogress _smash! 02:19, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I do believe they are common, significant and notable, and I WP:AGF that Myo007 above, who I am willing to bet is knowledgeable about Myanmar, knows what he is talking about. Myo007 above, and on Talk:SayadawGyi, has stated the article will be improved by Myanmar experts and I think this is a reasonable request instead of arguing. Please consider reading WP:WORLDVIEW. —Мандичка^YO 😜 05:06, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

• Strongly Keep - Grammatically, "Gyi" is just the adjective word modifying the noun "Sayardaw". It is a simple word just adding the meaning to be greater and higher in degree. Every Buddhism knows the meaning of Sayardaw as the senior monk. "Gyi" going with "Sayardaw" is paying respect and make it greater. VERY SIMPLE!
