Talk:Gormenghast

Split?
Having another look, I'd almost be inclined to split this article into two: it currently describes both the castle and the series, and those should really be two different articles, just as Titus Groan is separated into Titus Groan (novel) and Titus Groan (character).

 * Furthermore, this should then be a disambig, pointing to Gormenghast (castle), Gormenghast series, Gormenghast (novel), and Gormenghast (TV serial). Z iggurat 02:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Inclined to agree. We need to be able to describe the castle without worrying about spoilers.


 * I agree to the four 'Gormenghasts' above; all four I think, and not just 'Castle' and 'Series' as is suggested on the article page. Also, and I guess it's a result of the 'trilogy confusion', but 'Gormenghast series' makes me think of the TV series, not the books (the latter is meant, yes?). 150.203.2.85 05:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I feel I should give my opinion, which is that perhaps we should consider not having a Gormenghast (castle) article. Having an article for a place in a series makes more sense if there are a vast number of locations explored - a good example would be the The Lord of the Rings on wikipedia, which details a number of locations like Moria and Gondor. But Gormenghast (and its environs) being the only location of two of the books, and not a major location in the third (I assume, but I've not read it),it may be better to leave it in the main article.--Mr Bucket 21:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Normally, I'd say absolutely, but in this case Gormenghast the castle actually has a cultural cachet that extends well beyond the series itself (,, www.traveljournals.net/stories/11362.html, ). Gormenghast as a setting is significant enough to have its own entry in Manguel and Guadalupi's Dictionary of Imaginary Places, too. Z iggurat 00:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
