How to Kill Shades

I find that this section is highly unnecessary, given that it's a single unsourced sentence. Also, it's the only edit of the contributor who added that section, which means it is likely some form of strange vandalism.

I am deleting it. Viltris (talk) 05:40, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you add to the article please supply in article whose view you add. If its your "private" view, it has no place here. add/cite sources. --Echosmoke (talk) 01:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shade (Mythology)?

This article is not about mythology at all, it's about shades in games and fantasy literature. I'll try to work on the article to get it on track, and put in information about shades in mythology, particularly the concept of the ancient Greek afterlife.--RLent (talk) 17:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

adding details

Please, people, when you add details, dont say "a shade is..", but write it like "in the game/book XY shades are desribed as" so it is clear a)where the info comes from and b)that shades are not real but fiction. --Echosmoke (talk) 08:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what about merging Shade (mythology) into ghost then?

pretty clear that with improvements, Shade (mythology) is ok as a standalone article

Support - For mine, these seem synonymous, plus allows for better discussion of classical ghosty things in the ghost article as the evolution of an idea. Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:47, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this one should be merged until there is enough to cover the subject (if ever there is a time). This would be the only one I could see merging. Synergy 19:32, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Switched to weak oppose - Ottava Rima has pointed out that shades are seen in Hades not on earth. Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lukewarm oppose - Don't know if the Shades article could eventually generate more content than is found in references by Dante and Homer, but if it can, I could see keeping it as its own stub. - LuckyLouie (talk) 20:41, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
