Hello, everybody. I have a question. If an article is explicitly about a being in the Shinto religion, should that page be considered for inclusion in the scope of this project as well? I am currently trying to tag all the articles that I think fall within the scope of this project, and find that I

This one's a rather quiet project at the moment, but I'd agree with Kotengu. The various personified kami are mythological figures; Shinto rituals probably aren't. Locations may be, depending on whether there's a myth explaining the establishment of a particular location as sacred.

Makes sense to me. Thanks for the clarification. I'm trying to develop article pages for all the projects to help them in monitoring their articles, including both this project and the Shinto project, and it helps to know which articles should count for inclusion where.

have faced this question a number of times now. If yes, under what circumstances? Also, should Shinto articles in general also be considered within the scope of this project? Thank you for your attention and thank you in advance for your responses.

Mythic Shinto characters probably fall in the scope of the project; things that only have to do with the actual practice of Shinto and not its stories probably don't. That's how I would see it anyway.

Just wanted to say I got some help from the project Japan page and updated the article. Appears to be one of those "It happened over there (insert country here)" stories.

Maybe "Asian mythology" would be broad enough? I was thinking about starting a project on that topic, since this one does seem a little exclusive.
155:
Yeah, I totally agree. It really isn't substantial enough to be a wikiproject on its own. A task force is probably much more appropriate.
