Talk:List of deities in fiction

Since all deities are fictional, can we redirect the page to the List of deities? Abdullais4u (talk) 08:45, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I think the two pages should remain separate because this page is a "list of deities in fiction," not a "list of fictional deities." It is not an issue of whether the deities are fictional or not, but whether the people who believe in the deities are fictional. For instance, if someone wanted to research deities in cultures around the world, they would not want to know about the deities in Pokemon; therefore merging the two pages would be inconvenient for what that person was looking for.

All deities are fictional! Merge the lists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.165.182 (talk) 02:12, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Lexa luddite: the list is of deities whose followers are fictional. Having the list be a mix of deities in the real world and deities in fiction would make it confusing, and people who want to know about the gods in real-world religions shouldn't have to sift through a list full of gods from fictional universes. Also, the lists are both very long as is, and merging them would result in one gigantic article, which is never helpful in any circumstance. Remember, it's "List of deities in fiction", not "List of fictional dieties". (Besides, whether or not all deities are fictional is a matter of opinion.) EmCat24 (talk) 10:46, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
