Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's community-edited article on Tenrikyo, the Japanese new religious movement, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced encyclopedia entry rather than an independent scholarly source, notwithstanding that its followers table is drawn from Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs annual religious statistics, including the 1974 historic peak and the most recent reported year, which gives its membership figures a traceable official basis.
Notes
A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication. Used here for its Agency for Cultural Affairs followers figures, which are attributed in the article to Japan's own annual religious corporations statistical return rather than to Wikipedia's own editors.
