Talk:Shinigami (Death Note)

message: As a good idea as this page seems to me (although it's a shame the original Death Note page doesn't link to this, and not even that of Shinigami Eyes), I think it wise that some one would clean it up. This and the related pages with this one.
Firstly, yeah, the context barely seems visible. Shinigami from Death Note... and that's it. No reason, no description of the beings' itself, I even dare to say just a frank copy-paste from the main character list. Which is rather sad. And I also think the descriptions in the List article should be shortened, with the linking here and the improvement of the ones here.
Should I even mention the worth of describing the rules the Shinigami have to follow, their relations with humans, their phisionomy etc etc?
Just my two cent, sorry I don't have time to do it myself, hope someone experienced will (eventually) read this and do something about it. Trucizna 21:46, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Page name should probably be changed. I suggest "Death Note Shinigami".
PS: I took me four minutes to find this page via link through another page as this does not show up in search.

replies: text: Shinigami (Death Note) is the article name we should use per the Manual of Style. I've created the redirect Death Note Shinigami to this article, per your request. When I searched for "Death Note Shinigami" prior to making the redirect, this article was the first one listed. This article is also linked to by the Shinigami article, so I don't see why it would take so long to find (unless you didn't use the word "shinigami"). What were you searching for? I could create more redirects based on that. Eruhildo (talk) 21:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Am I the only one here who thinks that Ryuk has some (admittedly superficial) similarilties to the DC Comics character The Creeper, particularly the recent Steve Niles/Justiniano miniseries? Purely speculation, I realise; just felt it warranted a small mention. Radical AdZ (talk) 22:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello, I was reading the section on the unnamed shinigami.  Could someone please explain where this information about the unnamed shinigami being Light Yagami came from.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Master1001 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I am wondering if we should keep Ryuk (Death Note) as a separate article, or just redirect to this article (as before). Seems like this article contains even more informatian than the specific one. Narayan (talk) 22:12, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
