:({{Find sources AFD|title=Maha Bhoga Marga}})

Fully advertising (even in all of the history), and as far as I can tell most of the sources aren't reliable or aren't independent of the subject. At the very least this article needs a rewrite, but in my opinion this looks like a WP:TNT situation. Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 15:46, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: @Suntooooth, this article and the Indonesian Wikipedia version, :id:Maha Bhoga Marga, both cite offline refs. Can you give us your assessment of each?

::I can't give a thorough response for a few reasons:

::# I'm extremely busy and ill IRL at the moment, so it's difficult for me to focus;

::# I don't speak the language of the sources, so everything I'm gathering is from inference and some machine translation; and

::# I think I probably overstated when I said most of the sources are unreliable or aren't independent, since I can't tell for sure either way with most of them. I'm not sure why I thought most of them were unreliable.

::After looking at the sources today, ref 6 (Mastra, I Wayan (2010)) jumps out to me as an autobiography making claims about third-parties (which if I'm interpreting WP:BLPSELFPUB correctly seems dubiously reliable) and possibly not independent, although right now I don't have energy for research to determine if I Wayan Mastra is independent of the organisation or not. Ref 4 (Suama, I.N. (1992)) is a thesis, which could be reliable but also may not be, and as I don't speak the language I can't verify whether it's reliable

::Sorry I can't give a better answer; I think I was probably a little hasty to condemn the sources when writing my original comment, although the issue of the article being entirely promotional in its entire history is still maybe worth a deletion, and at the very least needs a complete rewrite.

:::Thanks, Suntooooth. Well, now it's my turn to claim "I'm extremely busy and ill IRL at the moment, so it's difficult for me to focus" I will try to come back to this in a few days, if possible. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 18:03, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I don't see any opinions on what should happen with this article aside from the nominator.

• Merge a trimmed down version to Protestant Christian Church in Bali as an AtD. If sourcing develops for a stand alone article, it can be split in the future.  // Timothy :: talk  14:45, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
