Dying-and-rising deity → Dying-and-rising god – Common name. This was original name of article before it was moved to be 'gender neutral' but the motif is much more often named dying-and-rising god in scholarly literature. PikaSamus (talk) 02:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nominator. Completely misplaced gender neutrality concerns. Killuminator (talk) 20:08, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Killuminator. Srnec (talk) 20:05, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support speedily. I don't think a discussion should be needed over correcting such a major, careless, unilateral, and nonsensically wrongheaded move[1] that contradicts the article's cited contents. There is no gender concept here, and "god" is inclusive or neutral. Also, WP:COMMON. — Smuckola (talk) 08:51, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Death-Rebirth/Resurrection deity[edit]

Pinging due to involvement in the above discussion: [@PikaSamus, @Killuminator, @Srnec, @Smuckola]

The above move discussion focused on the term in the title (dying-and-rising god), so I have updated the lead in accordance. I do not, however, have access to the sources mentioned in the discussion, so I have not updated references in the article to "Death-Rebirth"/"Resurrection" deities (most notably in the infobox). Are these terms also usually used with "God" instead of "Deity"?

(Before the previous page move, the infobox had an entirely different title) Quadrantal (talk) 05:41, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
