::Not a mod, but I definitely agree that the page should be renamed to Tapu. As a name, "guardian deities" is awfully vague. It could, for example, refer to Celebi, who is found within a shrine and is noted to be the guardian of the forest. "Tapu" obviously refers specifically to the guardian deities themselves. And well, they are probably named "Tapu X" because they '''are''' the tapus. Calling them "tapus" as a whole just makes sense.[[User:GMario3826|GM_3826]] ([[User talk:GMario3826|talk]]) 21:21, 23 February 2017 (UTC) | ::Not a mod, but I definitely agree that the page should be renamed to Tapu.

:::Other groups can easily be as/more vague than "guardian deities". ("Legendary birds" would be a huge one.)

::::Sure, some official terms are that vague... but I don't see why we should favor a vague term over one that is both official and clearly refers to a certain group of Pokémon. | |||
I would like to reiterate that in-game dialogue overwhelmingly uses ''tapu'' more often than any other term for the group. I don't think that should be discounted lightly.
