devotional works published by commercial, generalist, or academic presses weren't discussed. Devotional works published by devotional presses with a known fact checking or editorial policy (consider catholic theological presses) were not discussed. While individual devotional texts written by devotees and published by devotional presses would need to be individually examined they aren't reliable for religious history, scholarly theology, sociology of religion etc. There may be limited capacities to be reliable for the devotional content of a devotional practice, but wouldn't go to notability. Again particular cases would need to be brought, but the result would largely resemble the above. we aren't an encyclopaedia of religions that do not receive widespread external attention. Works published by commercial or general presses by devotees may or may not be reliable. Depends on the claim or notability they're supporting.
