Major problems

This article appears to have a series of major problems:

Only one of the references is not a dead link, and that is a pretty unreliable-looking crafts site.

The article refers to "Papuan" people and mythology as if there were a coherent cultural "Papuan" group ("one of four major groups"); to my knowledge this is incorrect - the reality is far more diverse.

The single reference, and various elements of the article which appears to have been lifted from it, seem to refer to aspects of culture in the Papuan Gulf region - a completely different topic.

There are plenty of good sources around for Papua New Guinean mythology; but I'm not at all sure this article should even exist under its present title. Wantok (toktok) 03:05, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title without PNG disam

This article only talked about PNG's papuan mythology not Indonesian's, disambiguator are needed as just papuan is ambiguous.

While there might be some overlap like for example, mythology from Pegubin (Star Mountain) region, it is minimal. Envapid (talk) 12:22, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
