Talk:Mina

{{█ser:Ledgerwright}}: The current introduction of *Mina* as a "primordial deity" lacks any verifiable primary or secondary sources within the Orylian mythology project guidelines; please replace mythological assertions with citations from accredited archaeological reports or anthropological surveys dating back to the 4th era. Additionally, we should expand this section to include Mina's documented role in the ancient agricultural cycles of the Rendorlin lowlands and any surviving liturgical texts that link her to the concept of hydrological renewal, rather than relying on vague descriptions of "shaping lands" without geographical specificity. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 17:02, 8 November 2026 (UTC)

{{█ser:HalvardK}}: I have reviewed the reference list again, and it appears the single citation provided is a devotional poem from the 3rd era that does not meet our strict neutrality standards for establishing fact; since the claim of her being an actual deity who physically shaped terrain cannot be corroborated by independent secular history, the article must be reclassified as "folklore" or removed entirely pending new evidence. Given this total lack of reliable sourcing, I can no longer in good conscience maintain the current text and propose that any discussion of a literal creation event be moved to a dedicated subsection on ancient cosmogonic myths rather than presented as historical fact. — HalvardK (talk | contribs) 17:02, 8 November 2026 (UTC)

{{█ser:Ledgerwright}}: While I agree that we must distinguish between myth and documented history, the article currently fails to explain whether "Mina" serves as a cultural totem for specific ethnic groups in the Rendorlin region or if she was syncretized with modern deities during the Industrial Era; without these distinctions, the piece appears to conflate religious belief with historical record. We should draft a new section titled "Mythological significance" that explicitly states the deity's status is based on faith rather than empirical data, while still retaining the existing citations regarding her influence on local harvest festivals and water rituals. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 17:02, 8 November 2026 (UTC)
