The content of mythology was merged into Myth on August 13, 2018. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

In December 2025 happened an ENORMOUS infusion of the novel (2022) theory of this porfessor. I believe this constitutes a WP:UNDUE promotion and must be severely trimmed. I removed huge chunks of Losada's theory, because I see no secondary sources commenting on Losada's theory in order to establish its validity and conformance to mainstream. All this must go into José Manuel Losada#Cultural Myth Criticism
I've looked at the José Manuel Losada article and tagged the Cultural Myth Criticism section there as lacking independent sources. I've looked at this Myth aticle as it was at 20:08, 28 February 2026 and the same problem was present here, with all the sources in the Cultural Myth Criticism section being to Losada's work. I agree that removing the material from the Myth article is appropriate. If the section in the José Manuel Losada article ever beomes more independently sourced, maybe a brief summary of the work could be reintroduced in this Myth article, but only a brief summary.--Northernhenge (talk) 11:04, 12 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict) Thanks. I had noticed the large quantity of information from that one scholar, and I agree that it needed cutting down. It seems most of the information cited to Losada was added in recent months by a single user. –Michael Aurel (talk) 11:09, 12 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Michael Aurel: I noticed you recently reverted my edit that added Claude Mythos to the "Mythos" hatnote. I had added it because Claude Mythos has been dominating the news lately. (For example Google Trends data shows that search interest in "mythos" is still largely driven by interest in Claude Mythos rather than other topics like the Mythos beer or so on.) Do you think that there's any topic that's worth emphasizing by putting into the hatnote? Duckmather (talk) 03:56, 23 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Duckmather: We generally don't prioritise certain topics solely because they're in the news at the moment. This is partly why our article titling policy includes the long-term significance criterion; otherwise, we'd be moving articles all the time based on recent, fleeting surges in popularity. WP:NOTNEWS is also of relevance. As to Do you think that there's any topic that's worth emphasizing by putting into the hatnote?: the meaning of "mythos" covered by this article is the primary topic (at least according to the current arrangement), so I don't see any reason to afford special priority to any particular non-primary meaning. If you think Claude Mythos should be the primary topic for the search term "mythos", WP:RM is the venue for that (though I'd oppose such a move). –Michael Aurel (talk) 06:46, 24 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
