All in all, I'd say yes.

If there is a lot of it, maybe separating from the rest and put in a section at the end of the page is an option (as it is sometimes done with movies having a trailers/promotional material section).

But yes, otherwise, apocryphal additions to a religious text are basically fanfiction, and we don't trope fanfiction on the same page as the original work, so removing them would be perfectly justified.

Thanks.

Some of the entries apparently comes from The Talmud, which has its own page and should just be troped there. Some is mentioned in Islamic tradition, which I suppose can go to The Qur'an. There's not a lot, so I suppose I can just cut them.

What we have done in Myth.Norse Mythology is to cut anything that is not actually present in the relevant works. Thus, we cut out practitioners' interpretations and other "external content" like the aforementioned traditions. The same should be done with the Abrahamic religions. This isn't a religion wiki but a media one. Not to sound irreverent, but the external content is irrelevant.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
