Talk:Souls in Filipino cultures

Parallels in other cultures

If this article is about ghosts in Filipino cutlure, why are there mentionings of other cultures' beliefs? Those should be taken out. Joemaza (talk) 23:41, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Content

This article is about the ghosts in Filipino cultures. Content that are not about that topic should not be here. Manananggal, tiyanak, tiktik, and aswang should not be here. Also, statements without proper sources and statement with self-published sources should not be here as well. This is a standard set by Wikipedia. This article needs some major editing.

Looking into sources about traditional beliefs on ghosts from various Filipino ethnic groups, it seems that these "ghosts" are not at all regarded in the same way as "ghosts" is defined in a Western context. Additionally, I've found that these "ghosts" are instead referred to as ancestral spirits who guide or protect their living descendants and relatives. The concept of "ghosts" in a traditional Filipino understanding is also just one small portion of a larger general concept of the souls, which are many and whose names differ per ethnic group. In other words, "ghosts" (more accurately referred to as ancestral spirits) is just one angle of the many souls. With these data gathered, I propose to change the name of this article into "Souls in Filipino cultures", as to input the other portions of the soul concept aside from the concept of souls of the dead.
