I've added an external link, it seems to be quite well written. Perchta 2 July 2005 09:00 (UTC)

"Dievturity" is a neologism. It is not supported in any of the literature. This page was moved without discussion. It will be moved back. —Zalktis (talk) 16:50, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrong.
 * "The movement was started in 1925 by Ernests Brastiņš with the publication of the book entitled Revival of Latvian Dievturity. After the annexation of Latvia to the Soviet Union the Dievturis were repressed, but the movement continued to operate amongst exiles. Since the 1990s, Dievturi was re-introduced to Latvia and began to grow again; in 2011 there were about 663 official members."

Do we really have enough information to list him as Dievturis? In the reference there is a brief quote of him saying that he is not taking part in some Christian event for religous reasons and then goes to say "Es jau vispār esmu no tiem, kas pie ugunskuriem ar mietiem un cirvjiem – no dievturiem!" i.e. "I am of those, who [are] at bonfires with sticks and axes - of Dievturi" For all I've heard of Dievturi, it never has seemed to be about anything along those lines, seems to me he could be just saying that he is not a Christian, but rather something more of a pagan.

 * Removed as there has been no answer for two weeks, this concerns BLP and matter is fairly trivial even if it gives some prominence to the religion Xil  (talk) 23:26, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Unnecessarily dismissive
In the sentence: "Dievturība is a neopagan movement which claims to be a modern revival of the ethnic religion of the Latvians before Christianization in the 13th century.", the phrase "claims to be" is unnecessarily dismissive. There are no competitors to the claim of being the "modern revival of the ethnic religion of the Latvians...", so I changed the sentence to read: "Dievturība is a neopagan movement which is a modern revival of the ethnic religion of the Latvians before Christianization in the 13th century." ("claims to be" edited to "is"). 72.36.41.73 (talk) 16:27, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
