2006 post
To be finished.--Rhydd Meddwl 23:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- Some of this may already be covered by Celtic mythology or the pages linked from there. You may want to consider merging the pages. Choess 01:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Or else make this into a list of Celtic gods (and goddesses). I find a lot of unnecessary duplication in Wikipedia's Celtic mythology material already, and a comprehensive list (shorn of summaries) would fill a useful niche. It would be handy to organize the list of gods by provenance – e.g. classical sources (which are mainly archaeological), Welsh literary sources, and Irish literary sources. QuartierLatin1968

- I think that this is a better, simpler layout than the original version. But I don't think that this page should be merged to the mythology article, as now it gives readers an easy list of Celtic Gods to refer to.--Rhydd Meddwl 17:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Mullo
Who is Mullo? I can not find any reference to him as a Celtic deity. Mullo is a different creature altogether. --Sean Lotz 08:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Gender-inclusive
I would like to propose that we consider changing the name of this page from "Celtic gods" to "Celtic deities". --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 06:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
So, no thoughts? Not many things link here, so link repair would be easy. If there are no objections I'm going to rename it. --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 21:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
OK, move/rename commencing. I'll fix the links and set the redirect. --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 21:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Scottish?
Some (in some ways all) of the characters under Scottish mythological characters could be considered Irish. I suggest Irish and Scottish should be merged into Gaelic mythological characters due to the fact that both are Gaels and for the most part share a pantheon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ó Laithimh (talk • contribs) 04:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I get the feeling that somebody zipping around the web found it odd that there was only material on "Irish mythology" and "Welsh mythology", thinking to her- or himself, "Where are the Scots here?". But in fact there is no literature that comes down to us from Scotland and is old enough to carry forward any relics of pre-Christian mythology. It's a miracle we have the Irish material we do. However, what is now Scotland plays a not insignificant part in both Irish and Welsh mythologies. Q·L·1968 ☿ 22:54, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
