thread_title: Twilight Vampires

message: It is redundant to name this article 'List of fictional vampires'. Fictional is implied by the topic - vampires. A more appropriate title would be 'Vampires in popular culture', or some other similar title.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.1.65 (talk) 18:01, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vampires are fictitious 

message: I was repairing links to disambiguation pages, and noticed that John Mitchell and William Herrick from Being Human are listed under the "Literary" section as well as the "Cinematic/Televised" one.  Now, I know that the BBC has released a few novels based on the Being Human series, but the characters are primarily from TV.  Should they be in the "Literary" section as well?  (Actually, Herrick's in "Literary" only, which is singularly odd.)  Just a heads up for the people who maintain this list. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:09, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Literary section 

message: This list needs some major cleanup and formatting, particularly with the division between Television and Film. If anyone wants to help (or object) reply here. I'll start on this sometime in the near-ish future. Ncboy2010 (talk) 17:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Cleanup

message: I was scanning through the list and noticed a LOT of characters that aren't linked to articles. A little sleuthing shows that some of these are from series or books that wouldn't pass notability guidelines for books in the slightest and I feel that the list should contain only characters that are from notable series that would pass guidelines. I'll try to add articles where I can, but I think that this needs a cleaning. We're not a listing for every vampire ever written.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:21, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The characters should be notable themselves. If they're just one-off guest characters in an episode, chapter or segment, that shouldn't count unless their performance is significant. Similarly if the character is mentioned in passing (vampire's parents), it does not need to be noted. For characters that become vampires later in a series, it might be helpful to cite the book, season, or volume in which they turn, to distinguish from those who were introduced as vampires. -AngusWOOF (talk) 17:29, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: WorldCat Genres

message: Should characters be listed under Literary for Novelizations of films such as Underworld: Rise of the Lycans by Greg Cox? Unfortunately there's hardly anything mentioned about this in the film's entry. -AngusWOOF (talk) 23:56, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Novelizations in literary genre? 

message: For the character of Janos Skorzeny(Night Stalker), clicking on the name Janos Skorzeny does not lead to the site for the character from the tv movie Night Stalker, as intended.
Instead it leads to a site for a different character of the same name from the tv series Werewolf.
I'm sure the link can be corrected though I don't know how to do it.  Please fix.
Thanks.

message: There are lots of vampire characters that start in the manga before going to the media franchises around it such as anime television, live-action film, video games, and light novels. Should they be removed from literary or left in all spots where they are present? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:23, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I am not so much into manga and anime, so I am not sure about this. I know that there are some manga who are very popular as a manga but also as an anime television series (like Vampire Princess Miyu) and are shown in many different countries. I think some productions might be known better as an anime even though they started as a manga. Maybe it would be a start to seperate the "Cinematic / Televised" section into Live action and Animation (maybe even a third: Animee) like in Vampire film. --Dynara23 (talk) 18:41, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should presence in manga / anime override literary? 

message: Should every single vampire of a series (for example Twilight or Buffy) be mentioned or just the important ones? I mean I love Buffy and have all the DVD's at home but I still don't know who the vampire Tara is and I wonder if anyone else does or is interested in looking it up on this page. If s.o. is interested in such a character wouldn't he or she rather look it up at the Buffy Wikia or other Buffy pages? This list seems to be a list where everyone seems to be able to add everything. It is not mentioned how important a character needs to be to be added. Either it should be defined in a paragraph above the list or the added characters should be referenced to. If there would be relevant references it would be a lot easyer. Unimportant characters aren't found in the media and if there wouldn't be any references they can not be added. It would be hard to find all the references about the characters that are already added. But isn't it a rule of wikipedia, that there should be a reference for the added information? I mean if there is a link to a character I think it's okay, then there are references to the character on the linked page, but if there aren't any links it's rather difficult to know whether a character is important or not. I am not a natural English speaker, so please excuse me for my mistakes ;) --Dynara23 (talk) 18:41, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Actual Plays (in which sessions of TTRPGs are filmed for entertainment) are a growing form of media. In some respects they can be comparable to a form of theater. Therefore, I would propose to add a section on vampires from actual plays such as LA by Night to detail characters such as Jasper, Annabelle, Carver among many others. This would make the list more comprehensive, as these stories contribute heavily to modern interpretations of the vampire mythology. Mieri Bramble (talk) 12:13, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
