This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Mythology. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at
WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at
WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Mythology|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Mythology.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Iron Maiden's lyrical themes and inspirations
- Iron Maiden's lyrical themes and inspirations ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is 95% original research (borderline WP:FANCRUFT) that has a handful of "sources" that themselves are largely poorly-cited pop website listicles, which only support a small portion of the claims here. The Iron Maiden#Musical style and influences section itself is much-better sourced and comprehensive, and sufficient without this page. ZimZalaBim talk 19:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Literature, Philosophy, Poetry, Film, Music, History, and Mythology. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:42, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as an unnecessary and short spin out. This sort of content should be covered at Iron Maiden#Musical style and influences. Very little of it is sourced and not redundant to the main article, so no need for a merge, and I don't feel like it's a particularly likely search term either, so probably doesn't require a redirect either. Sergecross73 msg me 20:48, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Unnecessary and pretty trivial. Shankargb ( talk) 02:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete but agree with User:Sergecross73 that the literary and historical themes should be covered on the band's main page, I will try and make a start on that today. Orange sticker ( talk) 11:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Unnecessary and clearly not sufficiently useful or encyclopedic information to justify preserving the page history by redirecting. Psychastes ( talk) 18:36, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Definitely WP:FANCRUFT and per Sergecross73's reason. HorrorLover555 ( talk) 15:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

This subject has only trivial mentions in secondary sources. The article fails WP:NOTABILITY because it does not reach the threshold of significant coverage for a separate article. Jontesta ( talk) 03:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Fictional elements-related deletion discussions. Jontesta ( talk) 03:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. As with just about every other place or thing in Norse myth, the article could easily be greatly expanded with this or that mention or line of inquiry. It also contains discussion unique to the location. There's no need to merge it into anything else and it shouldn't be deleted. :bloodofox: ( talk) 09:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep This may be a rather short topic, but I think there's enough coverage in secondary sources to establish stand-alone notability. The Encyclopedia of Imaginary and Mythical Places, p. 19, has an entry and so I think we should, too. This has about half a page of etymological analysis, and this has some more. Both being very old, I expect that there is more up-to-date scholarly analysis out there. Daranios ( talk) 14:47, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It would be helpful for the nominator to evaluate the sources brought up in the discussion to see if they are acceptable to them.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 03:26, 29 May 2024 (UTC)- Keep. I find the other encyclopedia's coverage of it more convincing. PARAKANYAA ( talk) 09:20, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
