Reworked this whole thing
This was sort of a mess. It had very few sources and whole sections that were useless. The whole "legacy" section just restated the story of Yi Jing and Atisha for example and did not add much. The history section was also strongly lacking, it only had a single source. The intro was also pretty bare on actual information of the Buddhism of this region.

I have gone ahead and reworked a lot of this material, adding a lot of new content. Now it is at least ok in structure and has some key info on this form of Buddhism. It is probably more historically accurate to rename the article again to Esoteric Buddhism in Maritime Southeast Asia (as per the major publication on this "Acri, Andrea. Esoteric Buddhism in Mediaeval Maritime Asia: Networks of Masters, Texts, Icons") but this is quite a mouthful and I will leave it as is for now since it does focus on the Esoteric Buddhism of the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java.

Maritime Southeast Asia to 1500 by Lynda Norene Shaffer
Maritime Southeast Asia to 1500 by Lynda Norene Shaffer is questionable as an RS. There are two academic reviews of this work that are totally damning. Both mention many errors of fact. One also criticises the choice of references that Shaffer makes, many being outdated. The other says that, as well as the factual errors, the book gives a misimpression of consensus on certain points, when actually she is using outdated sources to support positions that are hotly contested by those working in the field. The two reviews can be found at and. ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 16:42, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
