@151.67.*.*: This template is about Hindu philosophy, not Indian philosophy. Encyclopedia Britannicadoes not say "Hindu philosophy includes nastika schools such as Buddhism". It is discussing Indian philosophy. Please do not keep reverting multiple editors. See the extensive discussions above.Ms Sarah Welch (talk)02:06, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Āstika, in Indian philosophy, any orthodox school of thought, defined as one that accepts the authority of theVedas (sacred scriptures of ancient India); the superiority of theBrahmans (the class of priests), who are the expositors of the law (dharma); and a society made up of the four traditional classes (varna). The six orthodox philosophic systems are those ofSāṃkhya andYoga,Nyāya andVaiśeṣika, andMīmāṃsā andVedānta.The term āstika comes from the Sanskrit asti, which means “there is.” Contrasted to the āstika systems are the nāstika (Sanskrit: from na asti, “there is not”), the individuals and schools that do not accept the authority of the Veda, the system of the four classes, and the superiority of the Brahmins. Included among the nāstika schools are theBuddhists,Jainas, the asceticĀjīvikas, and the materialisticCārvākas.
— The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, "Āstika" (1998), Britannica.com
Moreover, other sources on Indian thought confirm the same classification of schools:
Āstika and nāstika - These terms can be translated as ' believer' and 'unbeliever' when used as nouns, or as 'believing' and 'unbelieving' when used as adjectives; nāstika is sometimes translated as 'atheist'. They are derived from Sanskritasti, "is", andnāsti, "is not", and refer to those who believe in or assert certain religious concepts and those who deny them. What the āstika affirms and the nāstika denies is the Veda, and those beliefs which it authorises; the other-world [...], the gods and the efficacy of ritual. The distinction between āstika and nāstika is used in the classification of systems of thought (Dasgupta 1957; 67f). The well known set of six systems (the Ṣaḍḍarśana) are all āstika, since they do not deny the authority of the Veda, though is a central concern only for the first two, Pūrva Mīmāṃsā and Vedānta. Buddhism, Jainism and the materialist Lokāyata or Cārvāka system are nāstika.

The table of information below the portrait (with header: "Part of a series on Hindu philosophy") should be removed because it is misleading and misinforming the audience. The man described in the article ( Jiddu Krishnamurti) was never part of any religion. His talks, books were never confined to any religion or philosophy. On the contrary, throughout his life he refused to be associated to any religion or philosophy. That is part of the essence of his work. He broadly clarifies that in his work. Any association to Hinduism, Hindu philosophies or Yoga is completely misleading the audience in relation with the life and work of Jiddu Krishnamurti.Masterpapa~enwiki (talk)22:33, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Realphi: please read the discussions above, including the comments by admin Abecedare. If you have new concerns, please state them along with scholarly sources to support your arguments. FWIW, I did not understand your edit summary "nastika philosophies are not part of hindu philosophy"here. Carvaka is classified as a nastika philosophy, and scholarly sources include it as a Hindu philosophy. Please read that article, its talk page and the cited sources therein.Ms Sarah Welch (talk)03:27, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
