American Gods Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Laura Moon — Laura Moon dies in a car accident the day before Shadow Moon's release from prison, but in the series, she dies the day of his release, not the day before.

Laura Moon — The tagline describes Laura as a 'resurrected warrior' and mentions 'Mr. Wednesday's crew,' but Laura is not a member of Wednesday's crew; she operates largely independently and is often at odds with Wednesday's plans.

Mr. Ibis — The encyclopedia entry incorrectly claims Shadow was sent to Cairo to deliver a message 'not to hide from the New Gods'; in canon, Wednesday sends him there specifically to hide and protect him.

Old Gods — The entry incorrectly states that Jesse Alexander served as the sole showrunner for season 2 after Fuller and Green departed, omitting the fact that he was a co-showrunner alongside them during season 1.

Internet Gods — The entry claims the New Gods include a sub-faction called 'Internet Gods,' but in the American Gods canon (novel and TV series), there is no distinct sub-faction named 'Internet Gods'; the New Gods are presented as a single pantheon of modern deities includin

Internet Gods — The entry states that Mr. World is a key figure of the New Gods and that he is Loki (Low Key Lyesmith), which is correct, but it incorrectly lists the Spooks (Mister Road, Mister Town, Mister Wood, Mister Stone) as part of the New Gods. In the novel, these cha

Death and Burial of Mr. Ibis — Mr. Ibis is specifically the god of writing, knowledge, and wisdom (Thoth), rather than broadly defined as a god of magic.

Resurrection by Anansi — The entry states Shadow is fatally shot by Officer Burch, but in the show, Shadow is shot by Technical Boy's men, not Officer Burch.

Resurrection by Anansi — The entry claims Anansi directly weaves a new thread of fate to bring Shadow back to life, but in the show, Anansi does not resurrect Shadow; Shadow's survival is unexplained, and Easter heals him after he is found alive.

New York Subway — City Hall station closed in 1945 due to low ridership (Primary reasons were platform length and safety curve)

New York Subway — 'bullet' signs... are still in use today (Largely replaced by Helvetica signage system starting in the 1990s)
