Talk:Chinese folk religion

Updating

Hallo, I think the body part of the article should need an update about what happened in the last century with the introduction of the new tlc technologies in the folk religion field ^^^ Lawtheagoraphobic (talk) 22:01, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, and what keywords should we use when we surf for reputable sources who have something to say on this topic? Vagabond nanoda (talk) 18:10, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Shenism once again

I removed the lead sentence reference to "Shenism" as equivalent to "Chinese folk religion," which was made 5 June 2019 by Alex9444 with no edit summary. This question was discussed several years ago, archived here. In brief, the term was coined for specifically Southeast Asian use, not as a general descriptor of Chinese religion or Chinese folk religion. ch (talk) 05:20, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

The use of "shenism" is quite rare, even for SE Asia, as explained in the discussion linked above, so mentioning it in the lead is WP:Undue. Another reason to avoid it, especially in the lead, is that many of the (few) uses in other places pick up the term from Wikipedia, resulting in a WP:Circular reference.ch (talk) 16:51, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Removed Shenism once again, again

Once again "Shenism" is inserted in the lead sentence without an edit summary, this time by Gyan247677q. I once again removed it: Shenism is not another name for "Chinese folk religion" or "Chinese popular religion". In addition to the points in the section "Shenism once again," above, such as WP:UNDUE, Chinese folk/ popular religion does not center on "Shen". The "family" or "paternal family line" is at least as much if not more important, and the principles of nature run a close second.ch (talk) 22:54, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
