For the rest of the species, I understand the overkill aspect. On my side, I used mostly because I intend to list the fauna in Hyborian Age nations (completing an information present in the handbook).

I have an example of a page Vendhyan Tigers that I had created that I moved to Tigers (because of the uncertainty of distinguishing both). But the page is created only because there was in-universe material at its creation (first for a race/species unique to the Hyborian world), and focus on in-universe material relevant on a race/species scale. I wouldn't create a page for Cats if it sum up to "In Marvel, cats are pets for humans".

Even though it is being used as an exclamatory, people are using it as though they are being evoked. Can we all make a solid agreement on what counts as an invocation? In fact, when the invocation field had been discussed, it had been explained: Nausiated wrote: We don't do this when someone says "By Odin!" or similar exclamations. So far, "we" do.
 * The invocations are the only or first mention into the Marvel Universe for gods, demons and stuff (that's pretty much why they are relevant to me since the beginning). So to me, worship exclamations are as important as spells invocations.
 * On those points:
 * I recall that the invocations categories are implemented as "hidden" to prevent that potential overkill from bothering people. There is a setting that can be changed somewhere on users' accounts on that subject.
 * I recall we had decided to keep God and a few other example (possibly Odin or The Devil) outside of the invocations. But the users didn't followed that rule.

The real problem is to define the objective relevancy. For example, any invocation of God/Yahweh or Odin in Modern Age comics, or of Ishtar or Mithra in Hyborian Age comics, or Valka or Hotath in Pre-Cataclysmic Age comics serves no/little purpose given they are from widespread to almost-systematic. Other cases don't (most Old Ones's first appearances in Marvel -according to the handbook- are mentions, "Hura-Mazhta" mention in gives a little information on a character only developed in the Thor&Hercules Encyclopedia, etc. (and step-by-step, complete pages emerge from a few mentions and invocations).
