Talk:Elements of the Cthulhu Mythos

Removed pending citation
The following entries were removed pending a citation of their connection to mythos. If you can explain how these elements are connected to the mythos &mdash; and can cite a mythos-related story or other published source that contains the element &mdash; then please do so and restore to article. Note: we already seem to be using a very broad canonization (probably too broad); hence, I recommend reining in some of the more dubious candidates. Also: please see Verifiability for an explanation of why reliable sources are important. -,-~ R 'lyeh R isin g  ~-,- 03:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Fictional locations

 * Mappo no Ryujin is from the Call of Cthulhu campaign sourcebook "Secrets of Japan" by Michael Dziesinski. She's actually one of the primary entities dealt with in that book, and there is even a picture of her on the coverZigra (talk) 09:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Zigra

Bholes/Dholes
Dholes equals Bholes by the general spelling variation rule of the mythos, (f.ex. Cthulhu = Tulu), the similar creatures description and the fact that no author that use "Dholes" also use "Bholes" and the other way around. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 22:38, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Hunters From Beyond
I'm not sure how to add it to the chart, but the Hunters From Beyond are ghoul-like beings that resemble gargoyles. They are from the Clark Ashton Smith story "The Hunters From Beyond" (NB). --Artturnerjr (talk) 17:48, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Great Race of Yith into Elements of the Cthulhu Mythos#Table-b (G–M)
This article's two provided sources are the original novella and a guidebook that was printed to provide content for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. Lovecraft Annual only contains a few brief mentions of this fictional race. The vast majority of other potential sources discuss them from an in-universe perspective. The only exception is The Thing: A Phenomenology of Horror. However, one source is not enough to justify an article on this topic. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 01:38, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
