'Hellenismos' moved here?

It is strange 'Hellenismos' was moved here. Many articles on the religions list use transliterated native names, but 'Hellenismos' is used by modern Greek polytheists and has hundreds or thousands of years of usage. It also specifically denotes the main ideas as the Greeks and philosophy (so also culture,) which are involved, rather than just a theistic viewpoint. Epicureanism, an ancient Greek philosophy, claimed chance, not gods, controlled the universe, and this disambiguation has a link referring to Epicurianism, Hermeticism, Plato. The works of Hermes and Plato have been translated as using 'God,' and a recent study shows Socrates & Plato may not have been (poly)theist. Hence, evidence is not all ancients were (poly)theist, and not everyone necessarily is today who is involved in Hellenismos, so the disambiguation is misleading. In summary, since 'Hellenic polytheism' is an English term that does not denote all of Hellenismos, the Greek term, and that it is sufficient to use a native term that is the only one that includes everything, I suggest this disambiguation be returned to 'Hellenismos.' If you do not want to, I recommend making 'Hellenism' ('Hellenismos') the disambiguation.

The old Hellenismos page had discussion requests, so I am not moving this, but where is the discussion?--Dchmelik (talk) 03:45, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fully agree - this is supported by all academic sources. I have redirected to Hellenism. Oncenawhile (talk) 20:34, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What did you agree with? The top poster said it belongs at Hellenismos, so you redirected to a page that isn't specifically about the religion at all? Weird. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.13.103 (talk) 18:19, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If it is agreed upon, perhaps it should be fixed then? Reigndog (talk) 23:11, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is now corrected per consensus. Reigndog (talk) 01:02, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As editors seem to have reverted to Hellenism (religion) or to be editing that page and Hellenismos in parallel, I have redirected this page back to that one. Please see my note at Talk:Hellenism (religion)#Redirect about how to move a page. – Fayenatic London 08:28, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is, when the editor in question redirected the page prior, all the old redirects went with it and had to be redone. Finally, an actual discussion has started on the topic, at least I hope.Reigndog (talk) 16:48, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
