A religion?

https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%BEThe Meena mainly worshiped the Pisces God and (Shiva). https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A8_%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A8_%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE_%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B0,_%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A8 seems to say: People of Meena tribe are followers of Hindu religion However, I have entered ethnoreligionists Mina into Google, which resulted in 2001 World Christian Encyclopedia showing 1,086, 000 adherents, 98 % of them being animists.Sarcelles (talk) 12:40, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Counting more than a million adherents verifies notability. Sarcelles (talk) 08:40, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suitable religion of Meena tribe

The census released by the Government of India lists the religions of the Meena tribe as Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Jain, Buddhist, none, and others. -- Karsan Chanda (talk) 13:11, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article has debated content. What would be an appropriate article title? Sarcelles (talk) 12:35, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which are the features to be considered a religion as opposed to just a part of Hinduism? Sarcelles (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brill’s Encyclopedia of the Religions of the Indigenous People of South Asia has the following information: p. 67 says, the Southern Meena have goddesses such as Asapari and other deities. Bavaji worship is a distinctive part of the religion. p. 68 says, Bavaji are male ancestors and female ancestors are evil. Ancestors play a major role in all aspects of life.

p. 76 says there is no concept of sin, crime or soul in their tradition. Sarcelles (talk) 21:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can we title this as Meenaism? -- Karsan Chanda (talk) 00:47, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2022 April 3#What has been said about Mina Tribe in this book? Please try to tell. Karsan Chanda (talk) 00:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Meenaism doesn't seem to exist. What could be an appropriate title? Sarcelles (talk) 10:25, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I could add some information from the book I used above.

Kind regards. Sarcelles (talk) 10:35, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
