Just wondering, since "Bast" (or "Bastet") is a "real" goddess worshipped in Egypt, should the "real-life" template be applied to the article? Or (no disrespect to any Egyptians) is that not allowed? Where I live we aren't allowed referencing religious figures as "real" in case atheists or followers of other religions get offended. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:49, November 21, 2014 (UTC)
- At the moment, none of the pages in the category Deities employs the "real-life" template. I would understand the potential issues of calling deities of any kind real, but then again, the subject of their existence as a concept is real (as in, they are real subjects, even if they in themselves are arguably real/not real). For instance, in this sense, Bast would be a real-life subject whereas some sort of Harry Potter-specific in-universe deity that ancient Egyptian wizards worshipped would not be. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 02:48, November 22, 2014 (UTC)
- So is it okay if I remove the template from "Jesus Christ"? In my opinion, it's just as debatable as having that template on any deity, but that's just me. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 12:44, November 22, 2014 (UTC)
