Um... Including the holocaust under germanic mythology could be taken to mean that the (WWII) holocaust is mythological as opposed to factual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.175.133.172 ( talk) 04:39, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
This page should be an article, and not a disambig at all. I intend to make it so, if there is no objection. Cheers! bd2412 T 01:30, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Druids were Celtic/Gaulish not Germanic. There may have been a similar class in Germanic cultures, but they were not Druids. That would be like calling Roman Catholic Priests, Bishops, and Abbots the Imams or Rabbis of medieval Western Europe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.92.76.247 ( talk) 20:35, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Is this article primarily about the mythology of people primarily characterized as speakers of Germanic languages, or is it primarily about the mythology of people primarily characterized by being called "Germani" by the ancient Romans? Krakkos ( talk) 21:36, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
This article is currently defined as being about "myths native to the Germanic peoples". At the article Germanic peoples itself, there is some confusion regarding the primary topic of the term "Germanic peoples". A primary topic is often determined by the nature of incoming wikilinks. This article is one of such wikilinks. Two key characteristics of "Germanic peoples" appear to have been identified. These are being " Germanic-speakers" and being "people described by Romans as Germani." [1] Determining what kind of "Germanic peoples" this article refers to is helpful to determine the primary topic of "Germanic peoples". I apologize for phrasing this RfC rather complicatedly, but it is necessary in order to achieve clarity. Krakkos ( talk) 21:36, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

"The term “Germanic mythology” refers to the gods and heroes of European peoples, among whom are included Germans, Scandinavians (Norse), and Anglo-Saxons. These are people whose languages—one of which would evolve into Old English and then, along with other influences, into Middle and Modern English— derive from the same Indo-European branch... The Germanic people emerged in the early Iron Age “Jastorf” culture in what is now Scandinavia and northern Germany at the beginning of the sixth century b.c.e." - Polomé, Edgar Charles; Fee, Christopher R.; Leeming, David Adams (2006). "Germanic mythology". In Leeming, David Adams (ed.). The Oxford Companion to World Mythology. Oxford University Press. ISBN 9780199916481. Retrieved January 3, 2020.
