 * Delete: standard use of "chief". No Wikipedia article suggesting it isn't any special kind of set phrase. Equinox ◑ 00:23, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Is this a set phrase? I would imagine that their are other collocations commonly used to indicate the top-most god in a pantheon ("head god"? "lead god"? "king god"?) but don't know whether there are. I would delete if other collocations are attestable. bd2412 T 22:33, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, standard use of the word chief followed by a standard use of the word god. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * True, but two standard usages can add up to a set phrase if collocations of synonyms would be considered odd or unusual. If I thought that this was such a case, I would have voted to keep it. bd2412 T 14:00, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * There is nothing odd or unusual about main god or chief deity, for example. --WikiTiki89 14:50, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Indeed - that one gets about 41,500 Google Books hits, so my delete vote is solidified. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:11, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
