Talk:Satan in fiction

Merge with Satan
This article should be merged into the "Satan" page as a section. Discuss. TCorp 16:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, as some users have noted before, the info here is too nonsensical and generally uneccesary to be merged with the "Satan" article. Mentions and appearances of Satan in fiction that can be considered worthwhile mentions are those of, for example, in The Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, The Mysterious Stranger, and Piers Plowman. Of course, that's only my opinion. Satanael 20:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Section is too long and contains subtrivial information. Because of the large influx of amateur editors whose only interests are in listig off any mention they can think of, fiction sections (or expanded disambiguation pages with fiction references) are typically being split off of mythological/folkloric characters to avoid losing the academic context of the main article. See Vampire fiction, Werewolves in fiction, Chimera (disambiguation page) versus Chimera (mythology), Leviathan versus Leviathan (disambiguation) and so forth and so on. A merge here would not help matters in the slightest. DreamGuy 23:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

This page seems more like "Satan in pop culture," rather than "Satan in Fiction." I would expect Goete, Dante or Bulgakov, not Rosemary's Baby or "South Park." I think this article should be a candidate for deletion rather than merger, it seems like there is too much junk to clean up. --VonWoland 08:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
