Meryan Neo-Paganism

The Russian Edition of Wikipedia has an entry on Meryan Neo-Paganism.

How could that be brought up?

Thanks for reading. -- Apisite (talk) 08:05, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Apisite: we already have Meryan Rodnovery as a redirect to Slavic_Native_Faith#Meryan_Rodnovery. Maybe the Russian sources might help to build a standalone article that passes WP:GNG? –Austronesier (talk) 11:39, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both English and Russian articles are rather confused. They speak about a more general subject: "Merya reconstruction", so to say. There are no Merya people today, being fully assimilated into Russians, and some Russians who think they have Meryan roots try to "revive" Merya, in the cultural sense, and neopaganism is a small part of it. And most of the Russian article, despite its title, speaks of neo-Meryans, modern Merya, "Meryan ethnofuturism". Therefore whatever referenced in Russian article must be merged into Neo-Meryan movement (I suggest this title, because (1) physically there is no "modern Merya", only a handful of enthusiasts in historical reconstruction and (2) focus on religion is far from being central in this rather minor movement, which actually started form the attempt to reconstruct the Merya language since 1989. - Altenmann >talk 17:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
