Talk:Ghosting (identity theft)

Merge proposal
I've added a couple of references to the famous examples section of this article. However, I cannot find any references to Ghosting as a definition for the identity theft of dead persons.It would appear to be a neologism. The article also seems to contradict itself by including references to people who have taken the identities of living persons - Ferdinand Waldo Demara, for example. I suggest that this article is merged with the one on Identity theft as it is the underlying subject. Any thoughts would be appreciated. regards, ascidian  | talk-to-me  22:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not opposed to merging ghosting and identity theft, but it seems that the contradictory famous examples might fit better on the identity theft page until the merge actually happens. No point in putting them here, where they clearly confuse the meaning of the term. Badlin (talk) 01:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

The Wife of Martin Guerre/ Sommersby
Would 'The Wife of Martin Guerre' and 'Sommersby' count as examples of ghosting? Paul Roberton (talk) 03:33, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
