Shade (Undead)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Page seems unsure of what it is about, whether it is fact or fiction. Originally, the references were listed as "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos", "Eragon book", and "A survey on what people define a shade as". Tags and a prod were added by myself and User:The Kinslayer, though they were all removed two days later, by an anonymous IP. Article lists Durza as a shade, but the Durza article links to Shade (Inheritance), which in turn redirects to Magic (Inheritance), which gives a different description of Shades.

 * Weak Keep seem to have been in a few games, clean up more appropriate Guycalledryan 07:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps merge with shade (mythology)? JulesH 14:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge I like JulesH's idea, would seem to fit there better. Whsitchy 15:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - This isn't about mythology, so it doesn't fit in that article. It's about the concept as it has appeared in fiction and games, most of which is already covered in the relevant articles linked at the disambiguation page. There could possibly be a place for Shade (fiction) on Wikipedia, but this article isn't it. -- Kesh 02:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge with Shade (mythology). It is true that the (stubby) mythology article does not currently contain information about fictional appearances, but a "Fictional appearances" section would make more sense than an entirely separate article.  I'm also not certain that the main "Shade" article is the right place for the D&D mention in so much detail.   ◄    Zahakiel    ►   19:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge with Shade (mythology). Any article that cites Warcraft 3 and a book aren't being cited by reliable sources - G  1  ggy  Talk/Contribs 22:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
