Delete

1. This is partly a bad copy of wikipedia:Tengriism, with numbers that lead to references on Wikipedia but do sod all here. More to the point, we don't need articles on every religion in existence. As long as they're not trying to get creationism or geocentrism taught in schools or trying to make big piles of cash out of their woo, who gives a damn about what a few people in Central Asia believe?

2. I'd give it the chop. It's too poorly done to be considered a mainspace starter. Zero (talk) 15:10, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

4. A blandly informative article with no reason to exist on RationalWiki. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 22:01, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Goat

1. Trying to read that made me sleepy, so I don't know. But at the very least needs goat AND removal of the unlinked references. dx (talk) 06:32, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
2. I think articles on just about any religion are on-mission, so I don't think an article on Tengriism is a bad idea in general. The article as is is horrible, though. Improvement might be better than deletion, but I don't know if that can be done. Octo8 (talk) 08:59, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
3. There may well be something RWish here. Are there links with nationalism and racism, perhaps? That seems to be a nasty undercurrent with many revived religions. Sophie^Wilder 09:22, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia seems to think so, hints of reconnecting with a pre-Islam greater past, but I know fuck all about central Asia, so could not hope to improve this article even with its help.--dx (talk) 07:11, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
