Talk:Indigenous Philippine folk religions

message: Because of the historically distinct heritage of the various peoples of the Philippine archipelago, I am proposing that this article be split into articles titled Indigenous religious beliefs of the Tagalog people (which already exists), Indigenous religious beliefs of the Visayans, Indigenous religious beliefs of Peoples of Mindanao, Indigenous religious beliefs of the Cordilleran Peoples, Indigenous religious beliefs of the Bicolano people and Indigenous religious beliefs of the Kapampangan people, while retaining a broader overview article labeled either Anito (this page) or Indigenous religious beliefs of the Philippines (currently a redirect).  If the latter is chosen, I also propose that Anito be turned into a disambiguation page, since the concept has had multiple meanings since pre-colonial times.  
The selection of proposed split articles is not random: these are based on available documentation, largely gathered by Scott in Barangay: Sixteenth Century Philippine Culture and Society (1994) and by Demetrio,  Cordero-Fernando, and Nakpil-Zialcita in The Soul Book: Introduction to Philippine Pagan Religion (1991). 
Input would be very welcome. - Alternativity (talk) 04:27, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed reorganization and split 

message: Hi. Just a note that I could not immediately find a scholarly text which specifically uses the term "Dayawism" to collectively describe the Indigenous religious beliefs of the Philippines.  I thus did not use it when I rewrote the lead section of the article. (It doesn't seem to have been used in the body of the text yet.) That said, I don't doubt that the usage actually exists in practice. (Is this a relatively new term? I haven't actually heard it often.) If anyone finds a scholarly reference that uses the term, please just feel free to add it to the lead, with the proper citation. I'll try to find a reference myself, and do this on my own. But if you already have a reference, please just do add it. Thanks! - Alternativity (talk) 06:35, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Indigenous religious beliefs of the Philippines's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
