I still don't think Gaiman merits a mention in this article. I like Gaiman's works but mentioning them in every single mythology article seems to me to be overkill and have a tinge of recentism and bias towards Anglo-American culture. Haukur 20:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- Not having read this first, I just added a modern pop culture section with the (so-far) only entry being Gaiman's American Gods. Aleta 23:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Except that Gaiman is actually British (yes, he does currently reside in the U.S.) and the Zorya are Slavic. American Gods is the title of the book, but the majority of the gods mentioned in the work aren't even from the North American continent. I remember seeing some American deities, but these are Native American and Native Canadian. Also, it's a bit of a stretch to say that Gaiman and his works are mentioned in every single mythology article. Though he's a prolific author, he has yet to cover even a tenth of the vast mythological territory. 24.14.198.8 00:27, 10 October 2007 (UTC) Chris G.
[edit] Proposed merge with Zaria
The figures of Zaria and the Zorya, though probably related, seem to have substantially different connotations and imagery. I don't mind brief articles if we haven't gathered much information yet – I think it's more important that the information be specific and relevant. My vote would be don't merge.

- I agree don't merge if they are different connnotations, and its settled lets removed the old merge idea Goldenrowley 00:26, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Arquebuses?
She is invoked to protect against death in battle, and her prayers were addressed as "Defend me, O maiden, with your veil from the enemy, from the arquebus and arrow..."
Arquebuses? I thought were discovered in 15th century or something. Waaaay long after slavic pagan faith.
