Amount of source material

What I am finding is that there has been a very, very large amount of material written on this topic. This means that it may suffer from the problems encountered with the related topic Creation myths: that of bloat and loss of focus (it looked like this before it was slimmed down). I think it would therefore be a good idea to keep this article focused and summarised -- dealing with broad themes and/or more prominent myths (i.e. those discussed in detail by multiple sources -- I actually ran across two or three mentions of the Maui myth, before I included it -- and then discovered that it has an even more detailed treatment in Māui (Māori mythology) -- which should, I think, set a pattern -- leave detailed treatments of prominent myths to their own articles).

"Western civilisation"

Green, the cited source for this paragraph, characterises this as "Western civilisation" -- and it is not an unreasonable characterisation -- the Book of Genesis has been the 'creation narrative' of the West for most of the last two millenia. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 17:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The origin of the "death myth"?

This article is not about the origin of something called the "death myth". Hence I changed the title from "origin of death myth" to "origin-of-death myth". Michael Hardy (talk) 02:57, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of Death → Origin of death – Death should not be capitalized in this article's title as it is not a proper noun. Per WP:LOWERCASE and WP:NCCPT. Treetoes023 (talk) 16:54, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, and policies correctly cited. Notably, there are an array of concepts at Death (disambiguation) to which the capitalized "Death" could refer, which makes the current title unnecessarily confusing. BD2412 T 22:20, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and BD2412, and per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 07:05, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
