Former category talk page

This talk page was originally at Category talk:Fictional immortals. I moved it here after implementing the decision to convert Category:Fictional immortals to a list. – Fayenatic London 20:39, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First comment

Utnapishtim, in The Gilgamesh Epic, is the wise king of the Sumerian city state of Shuruppak who, along with his unnamed wife, survived a great flood sent by Enlil to drown every living thing on Earth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.71.13.67 (talk • contribs) 04:40, 7 June 2006‎

Utnapishtim and his wife were granted immortality after the flood. Afterwards, he is taken by the gods to live for ever at "the mouth of the rivers" and given the epithet "Faraway".

The Babylonian legend of Utnapishtim (meaning "He Saw Life", presumably in reference to the gift of immortality given him by the gods) is matched by a Sumerian version, the legend of Ziusudra, a name with the same meaning as Utnapishtim and bothe of them are "prequels" to the more modern and famous biblical story of Noah.

Category size

Ignoring the rant above... Given that the size of this category has gotten unwieldly I suggest someone go through and thins the ranks a bit by removing articles that are incorrectly here: What I mean is Fictional Vampires is a sub category but some of these articles appear both in fictional vampires and fictional immortals, the same problems happens with "fictional deities". I'm not totally familiar with the categoy rules so if some one wants to object please let me know what you think. Palendrom 23:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Add Tarzan

Tarzan should be added to the list of fictional immortals, also, Muten Roshi from Dragon Ball, who has eternal life from some elixir-

Discrepancies

Why are there such glaring anomalies such as the inclusion of the White Witch (from The Chronicles of Narnia), yet not have Aslan on the list??? In fact, He is properly immortal, whereas she was only immortal on Charn, when known as Jadis and having cast her curse. As written on the Stone Table, she was always susceptible to death -- by the 4 thrones being occupied by 2 sons of Adam and 2 daughters of Eve.

Would not Lovecratian monsters also make the cut? Like the Elder being Cthulhu?

Also what on Earth is Bungle from Rainbow doing on this list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.40.166 (talk) 15:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
