Mazikeen in Jewish mythology
editI don't know if this is widely known, but the term "mazikin" appears frequently in the Talmud referring to demons, as some sort of damaging force, derived from the verb root n.z.k., meaning damage. There, it is thought to be a plural noun, the singular being "mazik". Often, plural nouns in Hebrew became confused when transliterated to be singular, as in "seraphin/seraphim" or "cherubin/cherubim", both of which are singular in Latin and English but plural in Hebrew. Perhaps Gaiman was referring to these forces in the naming of this character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.240.40 (talk) 04:26, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Mazikeen.jpg
edit
Image:Mazikeen.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Lucifer's Consort
editMazikeen is described as Lucifer's consort, but there is nothing that indicates she had a relationship with Lucifer before his exit from Hell. She served as his majordomo, and while he kisses her after he closes Hell, it could have be the consummation of unspoken feelings.

Not sure how to do this but i notice the article says 'fictional demon' is this as opposed to a 'factual demon'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.151.161.216 (talk) 08:14, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Requested move 8 November 2016
edit- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: not moved, though a redirect from Mazikeen Smith to this page seems like a good "compromise", as mentioned. (non-admin closure) JudgeRM (talk to me) 03:26, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Mazikeen (comics) → Mazikeen Smith – As the recent episode of Lucifer has revealed both with the printed name on the cheque and what she says to the doctor, her full name in the human world is Mazikeen Smith. This serves as a WP:NATDAB so that we don't need parenthesis anymore. (comics) no longer seems appropriate too, since she has moved outside of comics to appear in television as well.

- Oppose This article should use consistent naming conventions with those used in the article for Lucifer himself [i.e. Lucifer (DC Comics) - (Redirected from Lucifer Morningstar)]. If you want to make a Mazikeen Smith page that redirects to this main Mazikeen (comics) page, that would be an acceptable compromise imo -- Balcerzak (talk) 00:00, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
