Source(s)?
[edit]While I may not be an expert on Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos/Great Old Ones, I am dubious about this list. Many names never appeared to my knowledge in Lovecraft's stories -- or the stories of his immediate circle. In fact, I'm dubious any of these creatures appeared in a published story, let alone one from a mainstream Mythos story. (Sheesh, I suspect some of these are creations that appear no where else than this list -- just a bunch of Cthulhucruft.) Can someone provide references to show where these names first appeared? And where the information about them came from? Otherwise, I'm tempted to taking a very large pair of pruning sheers to this list. -- llywrch (talk) 02:08, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure they need to be removed, as the list isn't claiming to be solely lovecraft's fiction, but I would definitely second the request to require sources for every entry on this list.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 21:02, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Self-Referential Links
[edit]There are a lot of entries on the list which link to deity lists from other authors - Clark Ashton Smith, Brian Lumley, Henry Kuttner, etc. The problem is - All of these links just link to the "Cthulhu Mythos Deities" page... Which does not contain any of the deities in question, because the Great Old Ones section of that page only links back to this page. 198.54.211.2 (talk) 18:20, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
