A discussion needs to occur on whether or not Kusanagi belongs on this list, and which story to believe about it being lost if it is, indeed, a lost treasure. There are several accounts of it being lost and found throughout the centuries.

This is sort of turning into a list of robberies. I think the focus should be on the treasure, and so, maybe the only items on the list should be those with notable treasures, as opposed to notable robberies. I don't know. What do you think? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 17:12, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
I added an external link to a site that lists a lot of lost treasures. The site itself if probably not a RS but we could search for other sources that talks about the listed treasures over there. The User 567 ( talk) 14:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

The item Ark of the Covenant has for a long time been on this list. User:War has removed it, pending discussion. The item was added some time ago, and when editors disagreed on whether it should be on the list or not, the explanation "Historicity disputed" was added to the description. This line is intended to convey that there are some people who believe the Ark of the Covenant existed, and may still exist, and has yet to be found. If any such Ark is real, then it is indeed a treasure, and if is status is not verified, it is "missing". There are treasure hunters and archaeologists (real, not fictional) that have searched for it. One only searches for something that is considered "missing" or "lost". User:War, in the edit summary, likewise admits that the Ark of the Covenant has a "questionable existence". Therefore, by virtue of accepting that there is a question on the Ark's existence, for which a possible answer may be affirmative, User:War has also admitted that the Ark of the Covenant may exist. Therefore, pending its discovery or confirmational evidence that it was always completely fictional, I move that the Ark of the Covenant be restored to the List missing treasure. - Boneyard90 ( talk) 21:00, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
I contend that the listing for "Dracula's treasure" should be re-included. I added it with a reference, In Search of Dracula. It has been suggested that it is not a "scholarly work". The book contains a full annotated bibliography, and was written by two professors of history at Boston College. I don't see the problem with this reference. - Boneyard90 ( talk) 22:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
Maybe we could make a couple of redlinks to represent these:

First of the all the article has some problems with defining its own terms: "Treasure" and "Existence" are undefined terms. But I'm first concerned with the ambiguity associated with the word "treasure". This list is rapidly filling with artifacts'. Are they "treasures"? Sure, as the historical and cultural worth is invaluable....but they aren't piles of gold coins or gems.
From Merriam Webster Definition of treasure
To save this article from being bloated with the literally countless priceless artifacts known but lost through history, I suggest we limit the listed items that fit only definition #1."wealth (such as money, jewels, or precious metals) stored up or hoarded <buried treasure>" War ( talk) 01:03, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
A "missing treasures" list shouldn't include recent robberies IMO. Presumably the thefts are still "hot" and have active investigations. At what point does the treasure become missing in a historical context, rather than an immediate theft. It would be easy to set an arbitrary 10 or 20 year minimum age limit. -- Green C 14:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
