Talk:List of water deities

Blue wall of death

Hi. Looking at this page, it would be worth considering reviewing its name and its approach. See WP:OVERLINK and WP:LOW -- billinghurst (talk) 00:41, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Yup. At the very least, water god should deal with freshwater and sea god should be WP:FORKed off to deal with that entirely separate sphere. River gods, which are specific to each stream, should also be FORKed out of an article on gods of water generally. — LlywelynII 00:22, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

So

So, looking at this page is kind of interesting, and I don't know if its just because I havent done my wikipedia homework or not. Could it be constrewed also as a detailing of the traits held in common to all water deities as a class? Like, to the extent that such universal class traits existed.

This is kind of also I suppose my way of reviewing its approach. The name I like.

Or, I guess, what is its name, "water deity" or "list of whatevers" ? And does it have to be? Hahaha. It's possible there is a page that tells me this.

Sorry if that's so. Deyrth (talk) 06:02, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry also, didn't see that before. Surely it is not indian specifically? I don't get why that is there at all? Deyrth (talk) 06:03, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

What? — LlywelynII 23:56, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

First Nation

The article is missing the First Nations or the Native American deities 1. Mark v1.0 (talk) 20:23, 21 July 20.

On July 15,Yonya Daysoman found that there was a god of the sea.

Native American means indian in a non hurtful way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.248.66.28 (talk) 01:47, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

May do, but it's peculiar to American English whereas Amerind and Indian cover everyone in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus. In any case, "First Nations" is such a complete misnomer that it should only be used on articles with a specifically Canadian context. — LlywelynII 23:59, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

WP:RS

Efiks Tribe of Calabar also have water deities known as Ndem

was added to the top of the page. Needs a cite and proper placement. — LlywelynII 23:49, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

River god

This article is about Water Deities. For the novel by Wilbur Smith, see River God.

I assume this was at the top because river god redirects here? The thing is: hatnote links are added because someone might be trying to get to the other page and we want to help them. Afaict, no one looking for river god is trying to find a novel and adding it so prominently to a major article is WP:UNDUE or whatever policy is responsible for avoiding advertising on the site. Thoughts? — LlywelynII 23:52, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Why is "Hindu-Vedic" a subcategory of Germanic? It doesn't make sense

This seems fringey. Cynthia-Coriníon (talk) 13:56, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Ethnolinguistic categorization

Enviousbarbarian restructured this entire article on 22 June 2022[1] tagging it as a 'minor edit' and a "(slight improvement in categorization)". I believe that, while the original categorization wasn't optimal, this user's edit was even worse. A categorization, that doesn't split apart ethnolinguistic groups like Greco-Roman, Germanic and Hindu, seems to me like it would be better. (Also I collapsed the two Hindu sub-subsections(how did they both last so long?) under the South Asia subsection) Ythede Gengo (talk) 20:46, 25 June 2023 (UTC) 19:34, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
