Anito
A 15th century wooden carving of an
anito in the
Louvre
5x expanded by Obsidian Soul (talk). Self-nominated at 09:54, 14 May 2018 (UTC).
- Article was 5x expanded within the required timeframe, and is adequately sourced. Hook fact is cited inline; the citation is a book but an online link is provided and the fact is verified. No copyright violations were found. The hook is of the required length, the article is neutral and stable, and a QPQ has been provided. However, as someone who studied social studies for my bachelor's degree, and who once interned at the National Museum of the Philippines, I don't really think the hook is that "quirky". Animism in general was and still is a fairly common religious belief: there's for example Shinto. Instead, I suggest that, for alternate hook suggestions, some hooks containing information about actual aspects of the anito could instead be proposed.

- Thanks for the review. I'll see if I can come up with a catchier hook later this afternoon.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 03:24, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hm. How about the following? It's proving a bit difficult to find an alternate hook. The ones I came up with end up being too wordy or are too vague because I'd have to explain every term involved. I wish I could link babaylan, but the article on that at the moment is iffy and needs to be rewritten (which I'll probably do later). -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 12:53, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

- I'll be away from editing for a few days so I might not be able to finish the review until then, but I suppose I can wait for the babaylan article to be improved, and see if other hooks based on that could be proposed here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:38, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Heh. Might take a while. A bit busy here as well and that's another massive topic (I'm merging Catalonan into Babaylan as well, the only difference between them is terminology). But we'll see in a few days. Cheers. -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 13:43, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Haven't yet tackled babaylan. Too busy at the moment. But here are some more alt hooks (suggest some as well if you have any). Tell me which sounds more interesting:-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 23:34, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

- Of the two proposals, I think ALT4 and ALT5 are the best. My preference is for ALT5 as it might attract reader interest, but if improvements on the babaylan article are not forthcoming, ALT4 can be used in its place. Both ALT4 and ALT5 are verified in the sources. This should be good to go. On a side note, I've seen Tan in person since he teaches subjects at my university, so maybe if I can meet him I can ask him about these things. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:07, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
