[edit] Mr. Satan

Hey, shouldn't we include Mr. Satan from Dragon Ball in the article? The character has Satan's name, for God's sake! --Wanna Know My Name? Later 17:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Since I got no reply, I'm just adding it. Wanna Know My Name? Later 17:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This entry really needs some work or it is staring down the barrel of an AfD.

Most notably is the fact that "Satan in entertainment media" is a grab bag of films, TV and comics but there is a film/TV section, unfortunately this is very listy and also contains similar information to the entertainment media section.

What we need to avoid are trivial mentions of him and avoid this becoming a list so what I think would be best is to take the TV/film information from the entertainment media section to the film/TV one (and consider a split) and then rework (and rename/refocus) this section - we can for example create a pretty good section just for comics.

[edit] Copyright material?

This edit [1] removed a big chunk of material on copyright grounds. Anyone got any ideas as it is usual to flag/explain this first. (Emperor 23:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC))

My initial Googles didn't find anything but I did eventually find this [2] I'm not 100% sure but I suspect it might be the source. (Emperor 00:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC))
It was added when the entry was made back in December 2005 [3] (Emperor 00:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC))
It goes back even further than that -- User:Satanael moved it from Satan to what was then Satan in fiction in November 2005. Part but not all of it was already in Satan by February 2005, so it looks like this was built up organically here.
As for this link, it says at the bottom that it takes material from Wikipedia. User:Satanfilmgirl may have found that or some other mirror and thought Wikipedia copied from there rather than the other way around. Still, I'd give her some time to reply to your message on her talk page before restoring it. —Celithemis 00:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Ah - good call. I didn't see the bit at the bottom of the page (as the formatting goes very wrong in FireFox). I'll keep an eye out for developments. (Emperor 00:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC))
