Turns out that this is essentially a "neopagan" project, much like Tengriism in Central Asia. adherents.com is completely unaware of "Donyi-Polo". The claim that there is a "Donyi Polo flag" seems to support the general impression that this was created ex nihilo, presumably in the 1990s. "Paleopagan" traditions don't have flags. Maybe it is notable, but if it is, it is notable as a revivalist new religious movement which developed around the 1990s, and as such very different from a potential article on the "traditional beliefs and mythology of the Adi people". --dab (𒁳) 12:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
