In your reference there was nothing said about tricksters. Of course, it says something about abstract objects. Yet, it doesn't say that tricksters are abstract objects. --Eulenspiegel1 (talk) 09:33, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Eulenspiegel1: It said something about the ontological status of fictional and other imaginary entities. I think you would agree that Tricksters are imaginary (you would call them fictional). As the theory described in this article called all fictional and imaginary entities abstract objects, you should agree (if you think that Tricksters are imaginary) that this theory also implies that Tricksters are abstract object. To repeat the quote: "While agreeing that fictional objects form a subset of Meinongian objects, unorthodox neo-Meinongians (see especially Zalta 1983) maintain that Meinongian objects in general should be conceived of as objects that have a non-spatiotemporal mode of existence, and hence as abstract rather than concrete objects. [...] For unorthodox neo-Meinongians, this object is not a mountain in the same sense that Mt Taranaki, for example, is a mountain. The golden mountain is an abstract object, after all, and mountains are not abstract objects." But I would agree on making this a subclass of entity (Q35120) - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 15:30, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- It says that "fictional object (Q15706911) subclass of abstract entity (Q7184903)" but it doesn't say that "trickster (Q902180) subclass of fictional object (Q15706911)". Tricksters are fictional characters but fictional characters are no fictional objects. --Eulenspiegel1 (talk) 08:00, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
