Underworld
Can we make this a disambig page? or move Underworld (band) to another article altogether? Other ideas? : I would say keep the mythological concept of the underworld here, and move the band stuff to "underworld (band)". TRhere's a club in Camden called the Underworld too... -- User:Tarquin 13:26 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC) Actually should Underworld be disambigious? I've already seperated the band, but there is also a novel by Don Delillo, and probably countless other references -- User:Greg Godwin 13:38 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC) : Yes, but the "death people"-underworld is still the primary meaning of the word. You can make a disambiguation page, and link to it from this page using a disambiguation block. User:Jheijmans makes sense, i'll do that then, not sure if the format is right though User:Greg Godwin 13:49 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC) :I'm moving the disambig to the top. That seems to be the standard and it makes sense--if someone's looking for the band they may just give up when they see the articles is not about the band (or novel) and not scroll down. User:Tokerboy ---- Anyone know why there seem to be Deities of the underworld listed alongside actual underworlds on this list? --User:Dante Alighieri | User talk:Dante Alighieri 23:31, May 3, 2004 (UTC) ---- Why are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Vodun not tagged as "mythologies" like the rest of the religions? --User:Iisaphd 02:02, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) **I suspect that this reflects a shortage of accepted nouns in English. They could just as well all be tagged as "Navajo religious beliefs" and "Hindu religious beliefs" . Any label (religion, mythology, zeitgeist) will push a point of view, so it is safest (and WP:NC) to use the most widely-recognized names. You can imagine the dispute if you seriously proposed ''Christian mythology''. Your POV would be eminently supportable, but could never achieve consensus. User:Dystopos 03:17, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) ***Dystopos is probably right. There's no commonly used English word for the Navajo religion, so we use ''Navajo mythology'', which is both accurate and descriptive. ''Christian mythology'' would also be accurate and descriptive, but is not the most common name for that topic. There was a long debate at Talk:Christian mythology which may be interesting.
