Griffiths citations need complete references
editThe References section refers to Griffiths 1960, but does not give a full citation. The reference is probably to The Conflict of Horus and Set, by J. Gwyn Griffiths, published in 1960. P992ohae (talk) 23:59, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Query
editWhy is the exact same picture used for both Set and his supposed son Anubis? Please make up your mind. It can't be BOTH 2601:18F:E82:A10:B947:E31:EB0A:744B (talk) 09:46, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- The infobox images for this article (Set (deity)) and Anubis are not the same. NebY (talk) 09:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
Too much pop culture, 2024
editThe article references (or rather, doesn't) too many instances of pop culture. This article is about the Egyptian deity but it seems to be collecting a tranche of irrelevant pop culture examples that wouldn't meet notability criteria. That, and most of them are unsourced.
I anticipate that blindly removing at least the unreferenced examples may get pushback, so: perhaps there can be a discussion about what qualifies as a notable and relevant example. Neatly95 (talk) 01:28, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- I went ahead and just removed the mentions about "Powerslave" and that "Ennead" maniwha, considering as how neither have corresponding articles, and don't discuss their notability. Mr Fink (talk) 01:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Likely, if there's no article or significant section on Wikipedia, it doesn't meet notability criteria, so probably for the best. In the meantime I've had a hunt through most articles concerning the significant Egyptian deities that have cut-through with the wider public (namely: Isis, Osiris, Hathor, Bastet, Amun, Ra and Horus) and only Horus and Anubis have a section dedicated to popular culture references. I've just removed Anubis' (contained no examples, just unuseful commentary on impact with no sources) and on Horus' page it's only half the size and focusses on big budget films. I think this article's a bit of an outlier and indeed can stand to be chopped down a bit. Neatly95 (talk) 01:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
"In modern religion" section is empty
editThe "In modern religion" section is completely empty. But in the template of that section, link to the Temple of Set can be seen. So. I think some articles about that organization should be added in this section. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 10:28, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
