Talk:Palo mayombe

Maybe this article should be merged with Palo Monte? Bubamara 4 July 2005 09:47 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out, the articles are similar. I feel there are many interesting details here but it's not quite as clear as the Palo Monte article. Maybe I'll have a hand at this or the writer of the article should come forward to sort it out. kashasu

Palo Mayombe and Palo Monte are essentially the same thing, they are just different ways of referring to the Palo religion. I'm not entirely sure how they should be integrated; however, it is definately something that we need to look into.

Please Merge and Disambiguate with Palo (Leyte)
I think that discussion is limited here due to the paucity of editors in this area and hence a lack of people interested in the matter. However, as an active editor in this area (African diasporic traditions), i would like to simply present a conclusive case that Palo Mayombe and Palo Monte should be merged and a disambiguation page or disambiguation links must be created to distinguish the two forms of Palo religion from the Palo, Leyte page. I urge that this be done as soon as possible, because i am working in a bunch of pages that should reference Cuban Palo religious traditions collectively, but i have so far been unable to make the links because i lack a firm, decided-upon place for those links to land. As a hopefully fluent writer, i cannot work up sentence structures that direct readers to both Palo Monte and Palo Mayombe, but directing them to Palo as a collective religion lands them in the Philippines. I suggest creating Palo (religion) containing the merged Monte and Mayombe texts and Palo (Leyte) for the city to fix the problem. SPEEDY resuloution by someone with administrative experience and skill is required. Thanks. I am also posting this to Commander Keane's talk page, as the Commander has been extremely helpful to me in the past. NOTE: As part of the proper names of these religions, both Monte and Mayombe should be capitalized. Catherineyronwode 18:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
