Proposed merge
If there is no objection, I intend to merge Gargoyles in popular culture to that section of this article in about 24 hours. Cheers! BD2412 T 19:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I do not object, although a lot of that article seems to be crufty. The D&D section has a lot of obscure, fannish minutia, for example. It should probably be trimmed down rather heavily when merged.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:32, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I would consider that to be a matter for post-merge editorial discretion. BD2412  T 02:10, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Every single example in this article post-1900, but "they were believed in mythology" in the lede?
The structure of this article doesn't make sense. The lede refers to "mythology," so I rightfully searched through the article looking for that... and it's nowhere to be found? Now I look back at the AfD, and, at the other article, and I'm convinced that that's the place for this to be. The other article actually covers what this article ostensibly purports to cover, given the lede. This article covers some notable literary, etc., examples, then devolves into pop-culture listcruft.Peace and Passion &#9774; ''("I'm listening....") 09:40, 10 February 2023 (UTC)


 * To be sure, the popculture stuff was largely merged in from another article and most of it needs to be pruned or removed. If you are interested in putting in more useful sourced content feel free.
 * The article is about the concept of gargoyle "monsters", which did not exist until 20th century. In myth, they were just scary statues. The other article talks about them simply as sculptures and architectural elements. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
