Kangiten
[edit]- ... that the Tantric Japanese form of the Hindu Ganesha – "God of Bliss" – depicted as an elephant-headed human couple in a sexual embrace, represents the unity of opposites?
- Comment: Though the article not developed completely, IMO it means DYK at this moment. I will finish the article by Saturday. It would be nice that the article is in DYK on 19 September, Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival of the god that inspired Kangiten.

Please link to the DYK review page, not the article. It's harder to check otherwise. It can't be promoted with the templates - it needs to be stable. You need a reference immediately after the unity of opposites sentence,and the sentence about them being elephant headed. Does Japanese tantric Buddhism call them Gods (does ten=god?)? I think you have to say a Buddhist form of Ganesha, as Ganesha also occurs in Tibetan Buddhism. Secretlondon (talk) 00:17, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- Modified hook. Kangiten is a god (not gods). ten=deva=god (lead sentence). Refs were there at end of para, now repeated. Please check.

Good to go. AGF on offline references. Images in the article look fine, but they wouldn't be good at 100px. The article on deva implies that god isn't quite the right word for this class of beings, but apparently it's the standard English translation. Secretlondon (talk) 21:04, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
