[edit] Semitic pagan deities

First of all, the whole thing is copied from the link at the bottom and could be considered a copyvio (possibly not speediable since not "blatant"). More importantly, it makes no sense. These are not pagan deities--they are mostly Miltonic angels and devils along with various random creatures from the Bible that were never worshipped by anyone and a few Greek figures thrown in for good measure. They are neither Semitic, nor pagan, nor deities! Chick Bowen 05:56, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

• There were Semitic deities and, presumably, to someone adhering to an alternative theology, they would be callsed as pagan. I agree these probably aren't they, but this is a valid encyclopaedia entry, and ought not to be deleted out of hand lest, when the "right" information is entered, it is speedy-deleted as an "already-deleted-once". -- Simon Cursitor 11:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC) who is not sure which vote category this falls under.
  • Any admin would check to make sure it was genuinely the same article before deleting under CSD G-4. Chick Bowen 16:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. It's a list that tells me nothing. If there is a real article that can be written under this title, it will have different text and not be subject to speedy delete as a 'recreation'. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 14:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. By the way Semitic gods already exists (but needs improvement). Don't even think of merging, as the information in this article is inaccurate. Logophile 15:51, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to Lame D&Der agglomeration of stuff, misnamed, then Delete. Agree with nominator and Logophile. Barno 16:30, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Convert to Category: [[Category:Semitic pagan deities]] —gorgan_almighty 17:27, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Not an appropriate category in my view. The word "pagan" is a misnomer. A Category:West Semitic deities already exists, and contains actual Semitic deities (the ones on this list are not deities at all). Chick Bowen 17:32, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. A redirect might help people confused by the modern popular understanding of Yahweh and Allah as the only Semitic deities (neglecting a good bit of history of course, but then, most people couldn't find the Middle East on a map much less speak of what had occurred within a people group thousands of years ago). --eleuthero 20:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
