List of comics with vampires

Delete - overly vague inclusion criterion. Vampires appear in innumerable comics as main, supporting or incidental characters. Otto4711 03:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Meaningless list, which noone will ever read. - Iridescenti 22:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Indiscriminate information. Next someone will start a list of lakes with water in them. — Tuvok[^T@lk/_{Improve me}] 22:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete - indiscriminate, could go on forever. -- Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 23:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Who comes up with all these lists, anyway? Realkyhick

Marge presumably to Vampire fiction. We have that and Vampire films and I can't see any reason we can't have something on their appearance in comics. (Emperor 15:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]
- Comment digging around and pondering this issue, perhaps the problem is the name. A list with every appearance of a vampire would indeed be endless but there are also comics where the vampire if a major character in the series (like Blade, Angel, Fiends of the Eastern Front, etc.) and there aren't countless throngs of these. I am unsure if this was the intent of the list but I'd suggest it would be worthwhile refocusing this and moving it to Vampire comics where it could become a decent entry.

Marge per Emperor reasoning :) MURGH ^disc. 18:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge , but probably delete as listcruft. Who wants to scroll through pages of vampire fiction because there's a ridiculously long list in the middle? M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 22:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep although the article needs quite a lot of work. A chronological list would be of interest because until the early 1970's, the Comics Code forbade depictions of "living dead" in Code-approved comics, with the result that for example Marvel Comics was not permitted to depict a character called "the Zombie." I believe Tomb of Dracula (1972) was the first post-Code comic from a mainstream publisher to depict a vampire after the rules were changed. Newyorkbrad 23:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Now this is interesting information. I am against this simply being a list but if you can source that information it could form part of a useful entry probably at Vampire comics. So I'd lean towards moving it or at least taking the information and starting another entry that isn't a list. (Emperor 00:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]
  - There's related discussion at Tomb of Dracula. Beyond that, this really isn't my expertise, but I would do what I can. Newyorkbrad 17:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. List title is too vague, "with vampires" could mean anything, really. Burntsauce 17:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
