Too much speculation and personal opinion

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Gods

@Mystickskye (since I couldn't resist the retort, sorry) - if British English can say hi, so can Internet English. (And besides which, I thought the policy said to use NA English? Though I'm not sure if that involves discussion pages as well.)

Mmkay, so it's been several days since the last post, so I'm going to try to summarize whatever consensus seems to have reached and prod forth the questions that doesn't look like they were addressed. Correct me if any of them are wrong.

For Glas Ghaibhleann and Cromm Cruaich, the sources listing their possible "god" status are weak, and so they should not be categorized as gods. Cromm still had one direct mention of being a god, however, so this can go into the trivia section?

Lugh is slightly more believable to be a God, but did not pass the "three sources" test. Accordingly, he too will not be listed as a god, though he may be mentioned in the trivia. This seemed to have been implied though, so I'll say it directly - will Lugh be qualified as a god if one more separate source calls him a god? (Using the three-source test here since no one seems to have rejected its use.)

Majority is either neutral or in favor of removing Corple permanently (which has already been done).

Elatha and the Falias Gatekeeper are, though not gods themselves, are closely related to gods, so they should be mentioned too. The question is, should they be in the trivia section or should they be mentioned along with their progenitors like Mystickskye suggested?

Out of the "original" trivia removed, only Shakespeare's bit had been debated for its restoration to the page. I made the last argument on that and it's been a few days, so I'm assuming it's a concession amongst us here? If that's the case, it should be placed back in the article, though under the trivia banner.

This is a new question, but should the mention that some gods can be killed - originally in the trivia - be put into the introduction section?

My proposed distinction - "known gods" and "mentioned gods" - as well as the note to indicate which god(s) has died and revived, as well as a brief summary of their powers, hasn't really been talked about. Are they worth using?

Does that sound about right?
