Talk:Wives aboard Noah's Ark

Miao people tradition
The following content and its source are being edit warred over; it is being removed on the basis that the source isn't reliable and restored on the basis that the source is reliable.

I agree that the source is not reliable. But to resolve this I will open a a thread at RSN to get community input. Will post a link here after I post there.

The Miautso people of China preserved in their traditions the name of Noah's wife as Gaw Bo-lu-en.

For now, please leave this out. If it is validated at RSN we will of course restore it. Jytdog (talk) 17:40, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * done. see Reliable_sources/Noticeboard Jytdog (talk) 17:42, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I have found numerous sources tracing this to a Miao creation legend first translated by E. A. Truax, a missionary to the Miao in China and Laos from the 1920s to 1950s. 172.58.224.242 (talk) 19:17, 26 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Any of them a WP:RS? The article has too much unsourced material in it already. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:00, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You can take your pick from the ample references to Truax. Also if this helps convince you on good faith at least some of them really do have an authentic legend of Ndrao-ya and his sister Go Bolwen, check out this telling I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsagNsgBSnY

 * The content above is getting rejected thus far at RSN. Truax will also be found to be unreliable.  The youtube video is not reliable.  Please read WP:RS; please stop bringing unacceptable sources. Thanks.  Jytdog (talk) 22:37, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

You couldn't possibly have watched it that quick in one minute. It is not meant to be"reliable" in the senseof using it as a ssource but only to suggest on good faith that you are barking up the wrong tree if you think Hmong belifs about Ndrao-ya have no scholarly reference simply because they are oral traditions. 172.58.224.242 (talk) 22:41, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
