Category talk:Ynglism

One user continues to revert the addition of Ynglism as a subcategory of Rodnovery on the basis of his opinion that, citing his latest edit summary: "Ynglism is not Rodnovery. Sources that state such claim are not reliable". This opinion is not true, as all reliable sources — that is to say writings coming from academics and academic institutions (universities and similar), which Wikimedia projects should follow — classify Ynglism as one of the many branches of Rodnovery.

Some examples:

• Aitamurto, Kaarina (2016). Paganism, Traditionalism, Nationalism: Narratives of Russian Rodnoverie. London and New York: Routledge. ISBN 9781472460271. Quote p. 50: "Within the Rodnoverie movement... the Church of Inglings... claim to follow the ancient Russian tradition..."
• Golovneva, Elena (2018). "Saving the Native Faith: Religious Nationalism in Slavic Neo-paganism (Ancient Russian Yngling Church of Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings and Svarozhichi)". In Stepanova, Elena; Kruglova, Tatiana (eds.). Convention 2017 "Modernization and Multiple Modernities". Yekaterinburg: Knowledge E. pp. 337–347. doi:10.18502/kss.v3i7.2485. ISSN 2518-668X. Quote p. 340: "Ancient Russian Yngling Church of Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings... variously classified as a branch of Rodnovery..."
• Saunders, Robert A. (2019). "Rodnovery". Historical Dictionary of the Russian Federation (2nd ed.). Rowman & Littlefield. pp. 565–567. ISBN 9781538120484. Quote p. 566: "Some believers draw on... writings of Aleksandr Khinevich, the leader of the sect of Rodnovery known as Ynglism."

The sources also recognise that there are currents of Rodnovery which disapprove Ynglism (Aitamurto 2016, p. 51: "...the syncretism and authoritarianism of the [Ynglists] were greeted with widespread disapproval in other Rodnover organizations..."), and this is correspondingly reported in the articles of Wikipedia regarding the subject. The duty of Wikimedia projects is to describe all the sects of Rodnovery from a neutral external point of view — just like academic sources do —, not to enforce the internal point of view of some sects regarding other sects.--Æo (talk) 15:18, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
