Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Types of mythological or fantastic beings in contemporary fiction

I started this article, mostly because... I thought it would be interesting, and it would bring up information I wanted to know (things like "Are there many fantasy novels out there with werewolves but not vampires?" and whatnot).

I'm not terribly good at sourcing things, but a few links that seem at least mildly relevant:

And on the individual types of beings
some possibly relevant links: Vampires: https://books.google.com/books?id=Js2IAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false

(I don't think I'm going to search for a link for deities, too much that'll come up is straight religion, or otherwise irrelevant)

(human magic users are similarly hard to search, though for different reasons)

(looking up dragons mostly got me stuff about China or dinosaurs, Google Scholar is not the place to find out about dragons apparently)

I hope some of this helps? Tamtrible (talk) 08:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
