Who is Eledumare?

[edit]

This article, albeit short, still manages to switch back and forth between "Eledumare" and "Olodumare", seemingly, as spellings for the same being. At least, that's my interpretation; I can't really say for sure. I just read a little but still cannot say with confidence. Can someone who knows confirm this and we can stick with one? Maybe even with a source cited? Dabizi~enwiki (talk) 00:11, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Abigails Peer Review

[edit]

I really like what you wrote about Olodumare. It was not biased and you clarified the name problem. I think you should add that he is an Orisha since people who do not know much about this topic will read this. I clicked on your source but it took me to a page about Santeria so I do not know if that applies to what you wrote. Overall really good!

Should Olodumare be referred to as "it"?

[edit]

Currently, this article refers to Olodumare as "he". However, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_religion#Olodumare, "Regarded as being all-encompassing, no gender can be assigned. Hence, it is common to hear references to 'it' or 'they'". According to https://www.facebook.com/OsaIworiTemple/posts/is-olodumare-male-or-female-i-have-heard-and-come-across-several-authors-especia/1644390322371130/, "The correct position is that olodumare is neither male nor female. Olodumare is transcendental, omniscient and a gender-neutral deity." However, that post also refers to Olodumare as "he". My question is: should this article refer to Olodumare as "it" instead of "he"? Mail2andrewrli (talk) 20:41, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

I propose merging this article with Ọlọrun as they appear to refer to the same entity Jno.skinner (talk) 03:16, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
