Merger proposal
editI propose to merge Philippine mythological creatures into List of Philippine mythological creatures. I think that the content in the Philippine mythological creatures article can easily be explained in the context of List of Philippine mythological creatures, and the List of Philippine mythological creatures article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Philippine mythological creatures will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. Also, by merging the two articles, a comprehensive article for the topic of Philippine mythological creatures can be in line with List of Greek mythological creatures.

- @PCommission: I agree. The two articles cover the same subject and should be one. Somehow this one slipped past me or I would have merged it myself earlier. Go for it. Glennznl (talk) 12:23, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- @PCommission: Also agree. Article only has one source supporting its main body not including the creatures it lists, so the information could easily be merged. -- Missionedit (talk • contribs) 05:32, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for all of your input @Glennznl: and @Missionedit:. I have transferred information into this page from "Philippine mythological creatures". However, to keep in line with Wikepedia's policy, I did not include information that (1) did not have sources at all, and (2) have sources but the sources were self-published, thus unreliable. I'll go ahead with the merger. PCommission (talk) 07:36, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- @PCommission: It looks good, good job. Hopefully the info can now be expanded and verified with more reliable sources. Glennznl (talk) 08:13, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- @PCommission: Might be worth to look in Category:Philippine legendary creatures to clean up/redirect/merge articles in there. A lot of them are very poorly sourced crap.... Glennznl (talk) 20:48, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- @PCommission: We should clean up Philippine mythology by moving Philippine_mythology#Other_monster_figures_and_familiars_in_Philippine_mythology and Philippine_mythology#Mythological_races to here as well, only the decently sourced bits of course. Glennznl (talk) 18:27, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
