message: I don't think he should be mentioned in this article as his power are completely unrelated. He controls sand; he doesn't use it to put people to sleep. Currently the only mention is in the Depictions in film and television, which I'm going to remove after posting this. --Bobby D. DS. 22:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The Sandemanians or Glassites were a religious party expelled from the Church of Scotland for maintaining that national churches, being “kingdoms of this world,” are unlawful. The name 'Glassites' originates from John Glass, the founder (1728), and they were also called Sandemanians from Robert Sandeman, who published a series of letters on the subject in 1755. "Brewer, 'Dictionary of Fact and Fable'.
I'm not sure whether this association has been suggested by anyone, but it seems obvious - parents warning children who remained awake after saying their prayers, of the 'Sandemanian heresy', in the form of its chief heretic blinding their eyes to the truth. It parallels the slightly later 'disobedient child scaring tactic' during the threatened Napoleonic invasion of England, "Old Boney [Bonaparte] will get you", which inspired a fear among children that malicious skeletons lurked in their bedrooms. With perhaps a link between 'dustman', 'sand', and '[powdered] glass'.
E.T.A. Hoffmann's story 'Der Sandmann', 1816, would appear to have been inspired by English sources, since the German for 'dust' is 'staub'. And it is doubtful whether the 'Dustman' notion has an independent origin (children rubbing their eyes at bedtime, as if dust or sand was in them; parents observing this and saying either "the dustman has arrived" or "the sandman is about"

replies: text: I was trying to resolve the concern about this article being too pop-culture heavy by cutting the list down to the most notable and relevant examples. The less notable ones should be included in an "Sandman in popular culture article", as discussed above, or omitted entirely. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:40, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
