Oppose. 'Etruscan religion' is a common scholarly term. Examples from the last few years:
L. Bouke van der Meer, Material aspects of Etruscan religion (2010) ISBN 9789042923669
Gleba & Becker, Votives, places, and rituals in Etruscan religion : studies in honor of Jean MacIntosh Turfa (2009) ISBN 9789004170452
N. De Grummond & E. Simon, The religion of the Etruscans (2006)
'Etruscan paganism' is barely used at all - a search in Google books brings up only three pages, mostly from before 1910, and nearly always in the context of an explicit contrast with Christianity. The argument based on the 'Paganism in Europe' category tree is countered, as the OP acknowledges, by the existence of the 'Ancient Mediterranean religions' tree. (If there is going to be revision, then it should probably be in changing the 'Paganism in Europe category tree which is weird inasmuch as it lumps ancient religions in with neopaganism, while excluding Greek, Roman, Celtic, and Mithraic religions. I don't think this is NPOV.) Furius (talk) 01:38, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- The term "pagan" literally means a country dweller and comes from a period when Christianity had become the dominant religion in towns. The present name clearly means the religion of ancient Eturia, where a non-Italic language was spoken. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:06, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
