Talk:Baron Samedi

unSourced?

Voodoo deities, or loas, are among the most feared divine beings in the world. Ka'Jong would like to see this sourced or removed. It would appear to Ka'Jong that it would be impossible to source and should removed. Ka'Jong (Ka'Talk) , 26 May 2009.

"Like Maman Brigitte, Baron Samedi is thought to have been adopted into the Vodou religion from the Celtic pagan religious beliefs held by some of the Irish indentured servants who worked alongside the African slaves in the sugar plantations of the Caribbean. 'Samedi' means 'Saturday' in French, though there are alternate etymologies offered, such as Samhain, the Irish Gaelic name for November Eve or Halloween which is also a name given to a deity in Irish mythology who appears as a brother to Cian and Goibniu in some versions of the legend of Lugh's conception." - has been removed and should remain so until suitable references are provided to support this proposition. Linking Samhain to Samedi is poor etymological evidence - reputable references required. No cited academic evidence that Irish indentured labour held celtic pagan beliefs that informed Vodou pantheon. Jonathan carfax (talk) 11:53, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I was triggered by "brainless" description of zombies

I think this sentence needs a rewrite in three parts,

"He also ensures that all corpses rot in the ground to stop any soul from being brought back as a brainless zombie."

1. Remove "brainless", Zombies have no will of their own, at least from what the link(2.) says
2. The link to Zombies should redirect to Zombie#Folk_beliefs or Zombie#Haitian_trad== ition
3. Edit "any soul" to "anyone", etc. since the concept of a Zombie and a Soul Zombie are different and the topic of Soul_dualism isn't presented here for explanation.

Relevancy of Information About Cloak and Dagger

I feel like it probably isn't necessary to go so in-depth about the particulars of his appearance in Cloak and Dagger. I'm hesitant to make the change myself but the longest paragraph in the entire article shouldn't be extraneous details about a Marvel show. ProbablyGasha (talk) 04:12, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Possible reference?

There's a character in a game called Fran Bow named Itward who seems to be based off of baron samedii. I don't know if I should add that or not? 166.70.20.45 (talk) 00:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
