Reframing the article[edit]

It appears that "kenduri" isn't specifically a Javanese custom, though they may have their own version of it. It's the Malay and Indonesian form of a word that appears in some other languages as "kenduren" and "kanduri". "With the exception of rites required under Shari'ah the kanduri is the most common ritual in Malay, Acenese, and South Indian Islam. In all these societies the kanduri is remarkably uniform." (Mark Woodward (2011). Java, Indonesia and Islam. Muslims in Global Society Series. Springer. p. 116. ISBN 9789400700550.) The article should perhaps be expanded to the full geographic/cultural scope of the ritual, or else its title should disambiguate it to Java, or something else. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:18, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
