Hey there man, following up from the Discord conversation.
I understand the concern about people using Halopedia to push real-world causes, and I have no issue with the content being scrutinized more carefully for that reason. However, I don't think my personal motivation should determine whether canonically relevant material is included.
I've been trying to get this material onto the page since 2021, so this isn't something I suddenly joined the site to advocate for. More importantly, I've now provided Halo-specific evidence that goes beyond incidental religious naming, particularly the explicit reference to Captain Halima Ascot's Hindu background. You agreed in Discord that this satisfies your stated minimum bar of an example of people actively adhering to the belief.
I also want to address the comment about me having a "real-world investment" in this. Whether I have a personal interest in the subject is ultimately irrelevant to whether the material meets Halopedia's inclusion criteria. If the evidence meets those criteria, I don't think my motivation should be a basis for excluding it.
As for my editing history, the fact that I haven't made many edits to Halopedia doesn't make the evidence I've provided any less valid. I found an old contribution of mine, noticed that the material had been removed, and revisited the issue several years later. The fact that I've continued to make the same case since 2021 seems more like evidence that this is an old contribution I'm revisiting than an attempt to use Halopedia to promote something in the real world.
If the material meets the same inclusion criterion as the other religions on the page, I'd appreciate it being evaluated on that basis rather than on assumptions about my personal motivation.
