- Well, for starters, she wouldn't be a "god of fate" but "goddess of fate" Leasnam (talk) 21:12, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- English god can be used to refer to female deities; that usage just isn't universal (i.e. for some speakers/speaker communities it isn't a option). Compare hero vs. heroine. Hazarasp (parlement · werkis) 08:55, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- For a dictionary definition, we should avoid such usage- clarity is important. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:32, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- I don't necessarily disagree with you (I'm in two minds about it myself); I was just correcting a misconception held by Leasnam (not that it really matters anyways, especially now that it's been changed) Hazarasp (parlement · werkis) 02:37, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
