A large proportion of this article is devoted to Diana as "Queen of the Witches". while there is some historicity to this, as mentioned in the article much of this stems from Church teaching, and may not represent a historical continuation of Diana's worship.

Further, the entire section on modern worship stems from several modern publications, all of which are viewed with scepticism, Frazer included. As such, all of the modern worship doesn't accurately reflect Diana the Italic/Roman Goddess, but instead a folkloric version of Diana.

Thus, despite some continuation of use of the name Diana from the Roman Empire, it seems as if all of the modern use of her name ought to be put into a separate article. This would leave Diana (Goddess) with a cleaner, more religiously accurate article, while Diana (Witchcraft) would contain everything from the Middle Ages on - which arguably do not actually worship the Italic/Roman Goddess Diana.
