Talk:Yan Luo (Chinese mythology)
Should this article be redirected/merged with Yama, which uses the original Hindu name? --Tokek 00:37, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think the merging make sense because the mythology changed and developed separately. Likewise, do you think the article on US and UK should be merged just because the US traces back to the British colonies? For same reason, Yan Luo and Yama should be separate.

- Well US and UK are obviously different countries, while Yanluo and Yama are referring to the same entity, so there's a difference. I just thought it might be more convenient to have one page for all the information regarding Yama especially if there's going to be overlap of information however having a link to Yama works as well, I suppose.--Tokek 12:22, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Due to his interpretation trough the filter of chinese religion, Yanluo ends up being a deity quite different from the original hinduist Yama Miuki 10:26, 9 October 2005 (UTC):

This article should be titled Yen Lo-Wang instead of Yan Luo. Even at the cited source, http://www.godchecker.com, the entry is listed as Yen Lo-Wang and Yan Luo is listed as an alternate of it. Wikipedia goes by the most common name, and Yen Lo-Wang is the most commonly used name for the diety, not Yan Luo.--SunWuKong 06:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
