As the article states, Dracula and vampires have been mentioned in the series so why is this article canon-in-training? [[Shakespeare]] isn't CiT and they are both real world characters mentioned but not seen in the show. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 15:06, 13 December 2008 (CST) | As the article states, Dracula and vampires have been mentioned in the series so why is this article canon-in-training?

:Yeah, but Shakespeare was mentioned as an historical figure. Dracula was mentioned as a pop culture reference with no suggestion that he was real. In fact, one of the two times he was mentioned it was actually a reference to "Dracula's daughter". I figure an article on vampires probably wouldn't be canon-in-training, though. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 18:56, 13 December 2008 (CST) | :Yeah, but Shakespeare was mentioned as an historical figure.

So, I've been looking over this article for the first time in a couple of years and I can't help but think the "Real World History" section in particular is heavily slanted towards Vlad the Impaler with only the bottom two paragraphs addressing Bram Stoker's Dracula. Given that more recent scholarship suggests the connection between Stoker's fictional Transylvanian vampire and the historical Wallachian warlord has been greatly exaggerated, would anyone object to me re-hauling the article to be more novel-centric?
