Suggested improvements

This article highlights women priests within Shinto, but I could see a merge with miko (who are NOT priestesses; a miko is a supplementary shrine steward; a priest(ess) is the shrine chief. These are two distinct positions with distinct histories, but a merge to this topic and a redirect from Miko could be useful). An eventual improvement of Women as they are represented within Shinto.

Merger?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To not merge given that Nyonin Kinsei is relevant to both Shinto and Buddhism; uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article Nyonin Kinsei and Women in Shinto seem to have tagged by nom MaitreyaVaruna for merger without discussing the said proposal on the talk page.

I am not expert in this topic. What amount of content in Nyonin Kinsei overlaps with Women in Shinto. How section on Danshi Kinsei (Men are forbidden) will be dealt with if a merger in Women in Shinto is approved?

I suggest intimation of this discussion be sent to article developing users if they are active and Japan related project talk for more inputs.

No merger! The topics are related but also distinct

Nyonin kinsei is equally rooted in Buddhism and absolutely should not be merged with Women in Shinto. I’ve authored multiple publications on the topic and conducted ethnography at related sites in Japan - it is NOT about Shinto always. Buddhism and Shinto cannot be easily separated, especially in the premodern period when exclusionary practices were at their height. Buddhist texts were and are routinely referenced as the basis for keeping women out of places. In haste, Lindsey DeWitt 95.91.241.116 (talk) 07:24, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
