Talk:List of deities by classification

Purpose
I'm not sure what the "A" codes followed by numbers here mean, can you explain?

 * They're the "classification of types of gods...given by Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature". Pburka (talk) 00:09, 23 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I was thinking about adding demiurge to the list which is a type of inferior deity, however it might not be in Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature, so do you think I should add it with another reference, no reference since the page readers can easily click on the corresponding article, or just not add it at all?

 * I'd be reluctant to add it to that section, since that implies inclusion in Thompson's ontology. As it is currently, this page is really just Thompson's motif index. Perhaps it would make sense to add another section with other classifications? Pburka (talk) 00:25, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
