Underpopulated section, hope some of these articles can be added to the project. Lincher 16:04, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure it's a good idea to mix religions and particular deities in a single discussion. Having said that, a few other ones to consider:
- Kirill Lokshin 03:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have to agree with you but can't really not mix both religions & deities for the quality of deity articles is too poor. (Should I try and make more sets?) Lincher 14:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry I took a while to comment. This is a good list of important topics, and a set ensures people don't complain too much of bias! I see Quetzalcoatl has been assessed as a B now, maybe it's improved - it looks to me like a poor B. I would propose accepting the full list, including Kirill's additions. Any objections?

- The list seems a bit incomplete, IMO, as there are several Greek dieties, but not a single Roman god or goddess. Adding these should be all right, although I'm still iffy about Osiris, it being Start-Class and all... Titoxd(?!?) 04:43, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

- Fair point, Tito, though I would consider the Greek gods more important, since the Romans basically just renamed the Greek gods (Jupiter=Zeus, etc.). As for Osiris, he is looking distinctly better now, and has been rightly ranked B by the Ancient Egypt project. Walkerma 01:30, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm... fair point about Osiris, although I'd still like a few Roman dieties. Roman mythology doesn't give much justice to the Roman culture. Titoxd(?!?) 03:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- The mythology article does at least list the major Roman deities and give pictures - that may be worth something. Apollo is a good article. Care to pick some, bearing in mind that for balance we only want 2 or 3? If only they had been monotheistic this would've been so much easier! Walkerma 03:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

- Final discussion before inclusion on Friday
OK, let's include all of the original list, plus Kirill's list, and also Roman mythology and Apollo. I'll add these on Friday barring any objections. Walkerma 04:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
