Talk:Momus

This article is severely off-mission. Drawing analogies to creationism doesn't do the trick. I know this is LX's baby, and he get tends to get his way out of persistence rather than substance, so it'd be great if anyone else could chime in. Occasionaluse (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree. Off-mission as is, maybe a subsection in an article about Greek gods?
 * Of course, the whole mythology section could use a house-cleaning. The part about Aesop's fable could probably be moved to the watchmaker-argument page. 04:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I think that you are maybe confusing "off mission" with "not very good". I think that a brief mention of various figures from ancient religions and mythologies is something that RW can keep if someone wants to write about them. Whether it is technically within the confines of our mission statement I don't know but I think it is the sort of article that is of general interest and is close enough to the sort of article that RW was formed to discuss. That said, I must admit I don't learn a hell of a lot about Momus just from this article. --DamoHi 07:11, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is probably a better way to put it. 05:06, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is anything wrong about this having article. I suggest un-deleting it. -- 07:44, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This shouldn't be in the mainspace, probably shouldn't exist at all. I agree with Damo to a degree, but even if the topic had merit, the article does not. Delete. 00:57, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

So was it decided to keep or delete? MtD Pinko Scum   04:25, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like both. let's delete it, it's just a stub about a minor mythological figure. being snarky doesn't mean he deserves an article, or we'd be filled with stubs about Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde and so on.

 * Yus. If there is no major objection (or substantial improvement) in 24 hours, I'll flush it. MtD  Pinko Scum   09:07, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
