::I didn't say anything about your other/overall arguments. I was only speaking to the one. The point is: vagueness does not hold up as a thing to count against a group's name.

::...To contradict myself, though, as far as I'm concerned, "'''''tapu'''''" is vague. "tapu" has no meaning to anyone who doesn't ''already'' know exactly who they are. "Guardian deities", by contrast, is very understandable to anyone new to the lore.

:::No, because it's still not clear as to what guardian deities you're talking about. Again, this series has MULTIPLE guardian deities. If a fan, based on this website, were to talk to a fan who didn't use this website but was familiar with this series, then it would be clear as to what they meant when they say "tapu", but not when they say "guardian deity". Also, in order to find this page, they would have to generally be looking for it... in which case, even more reason to use the more common name, since they would likely be familiar with the name (Tapu) but not what the Pokemon actually are.[[User:GMario3826|GM_3826]] ([[User talk:GMario3826|talk]]) 19:43, 27 February 2017 (UTC) | :::No, because it's still not clear as to what guardian deities you're talking about.
