Wikipedia's article on Tengrism, the Central Asian and Siberian sky god belief system, giving its 1990s revival across Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russian republics including Tatarstan, Buryatia and Sakha, sacred mountains including Burkhan Khaldun in Mongolia, the festival names Yilgayakh and Yhyakh without further description, and its status as a beliefless-in-a-founder folk religion with only documentary rather than prescriptive early texts (the Orkhon inscriptions, the Secret History of the Mongols, the Irk Bitig), a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author, hence the lower tier, though useful for these documented names, sites and the absence of a numeric adherent count.

Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a community edited encyclopedia article, useful here for the tradition's sacred mountains, revival geography and its own acknowledgement that no numeric adherent estimate and no prescriptive scripture exist. Citation
