There is no evidence that this is a legitimate stock character, and most of the article is about the Shakespeare character (which already has its own article at Dark Lady (Shakespeare)). _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:36, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

• Keep The stereotype appears in many other works besides Shakespeare. For example, here's another source and yet more. Andrew D. (talk) 21:34, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Apparently there is a tragic mulatto article for that character archetype. Making this article still superflous._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 22:22, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
    • The mulatto is just one sort of dark lady. The substantial nature of that article, as well the Shakespeare case, further demonstrates that we need this page as a broad concept article to disambiguate all the various examples and sub-types. As another example of these, see this paper about the dark ladies of Edgar Allen Poe – women who are doomed, dying or dead. Andrew D. (talk) 09:19, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
