I accidently reverted the large new addition of material by an IP before I could write in my reason. The edit appeared to contain large amounts of contentious material unrelated to the Antes.--Ermenrich (talk)
To expand on the previous. Large sections were unsourced, much of it appears to be WP:FRINGE or WP:OR. For example:
There are many misconceptions about the Slavic and Sarmatian origin, language and ethnicity. Slavs were often confused with Sclaveni or even slaves. The name Sloveny/Słaviany means people of the word, people of the fame or people of the prayer (the term Słava is somehow similar to the Iranian term Khvarenah and the Arabic term Barakah), similarly the original name of the Luwians - Lud - stil means just the people, nation or folk. Basically all the Indo-European male lines belong to haplogroup R1a, although some archaic (K, L, T), Siberian (P, Q) and Eurasian (R1b) minorities are also present. They populate Eurasia for 60 ky and are permanently present in Europe from around 40 000 B.C.E. (the ancestral haplogroup K at Peștera cu Oase). The Slavic languages are closest to Luwian language and Sanskrit and most likely resemble the hypothetical Proto-Indo-European language. Big parts of Slavic vocabulary are identical to Luwian and Sanskrit, which were preserved in written form from the 2nd millenium B.C.E. The Slavic grammar is almost identic to Sanskrit grammar, as canonised by Pāńini, 4th century B.C.E. The Iranian languages are the earliest sidebranch of the archaic Slavic, which developed during the 2nd millenium B.C.E. during the Aryan (Kassite) spread of Véđa-Веда-Wiedza (Knowledge).
Lastly: The Turkic genocide of native Indo-European populations, e.g. the Sarmatian Sarmi, Sorani and GoraniKurds in Anatolia, Surija and Mezopotamia continues. Much of this is clearly not even about the Antes, the article is being used as a WP:coatrack to add fringe original research. That's why I have reverted it for a second time.--Ermenrich (talk) 18:41, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This was changed from "early Slavic tribal polity" to "early East Slavic tribal polity" by an IP a few years ago but I do not think there was such a division of the Slavs at this point yet, they had only just entered the historical record at this point.
