I am curious as to what reference there is to Jesus Christ being a dragon slayer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AmericanGuru ( talk • contribs) 14:37, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
This article needs rewritten or deleted. It also needs to be in the category of (mythology). The proper title is Dragonslayers (mythology). I will create a page of this sort maybe in the near future, however, people needs to start EDITING! ;) I know its not that big a deal or article but information is power in this day and age.

I think this article is potentially useful, but it will inevitably overlap with other existing ones. I've expanded the head section to link to Princess and dragon which does a good job of discussing that dragonslayer theme. I've highlighted St George as an example Christian dragonslayer, and Sigurd as a dragonslayer in a story where the dragon has some backstory (Fafnir becomes a dragon because of his greed etc.). I've inserted a link to Chaoskampf, but I'm not convinced, personally, that this article ought to be merged with that one. hsi is because I only came across the term "Chaoskamf" myself today. So I think we might risk makinginformation harder to find by doing that merge. Also - are dragonslayers necessarily chaoskampf-ish? Or is that a matter of opinion, on which wikipedia ought not to take a stand? (That's a genuine question BTW - I don't know the answer myself :) )
Hope that's all OK! :)
One of the things this article lacks at resent is evidence for the statement that dragonslayers are popular in modern fictions, such as films and video games: I don't feel very qualified to know the best examples here: can anyone else help?
Oh - and I agree that the article should be dragonslayers (mythology). Do we just change that, or will that cause chaos (if not chaoskamf)? :)

After the edit I just made, I don't see that the article could now be said to be at risk of including "original research". So I took that tag off. ChrisBaker ( talk) 10:47, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

– Per WP:PLURAL, the title should be in the singular, as the WP:BROADCONCEPT. "Dragonslayers" are not considered a people, it is a title, "dragonslayer", similar to how a black knight is not called black knights. The intro should really read, "A dragonslayer is a person who slays dragons for various reasons." ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 17:32, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
