::Yeah, given that no DWU sources have come out and said that God belongs to the realm of mythology, this dab term is editorial at best and insensitive at worst. [[Mary (mythology)]] is a similar example. It probably wouldn't be hard to come up with a better dab to replace (mythology) on these pages as well as [[Zeus (mythology)]] et al. Maybe something as simple as (religion)? – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 21:39, 20 January 2023 (UTC) | ::Yeah, given that no DWU sources have come out and said that God belongs to the realm of mythology, this dab term is editorial at best and insensitive at worst.

:::Wait, are we actually discussing this? These straightforwardly '''''are''''' instances of mythology. This is arguably a necessary component of them being part of a religious tradition - mythology has a real meaning that's not just pejorative. It's neither editorializing nor insensitive, it's true.

Article title is offensive
The article title is offensive and I request "mythology" in brackets be removed from it. 54.252.166.176talk to me 03:57, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- I don't find it offensive, but I agree that the page should be moved. Wikipedia uses God for the monotheistic figure and Deity for gods in general, a much better solution which also avoids the need for disambiguation. "Mythology" isn't really accurate anyway, as God is also a philosophical concept, etc. PintlessMan ☎ 21:12, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
