as i mentioned somewhere on meta - i'm a bit uncomfortable with this entry just being directly under "Brief Lives", since there's a different famous book of the same title, a classic work of biography by Aubrey. I was thinking of moving all the sandman books to be subpages of Sandman, then noticed some references in some places to subpages being Bad and possibly Obsolescent. can someone clarify? are subpages Bad, or Good? should i use them in this case? any alternative suggestions?

Slash subpages are wicked ugly. My personal preference if you must disambiguate would be for Brief Lives (Sandman) (or possibly Brief Lives (Gaiman)). Which reminds me, I have to dig out those Sandman books I borrowed ages ago, finish reading them, and return them to their rightful owner(s). --Brion

Yes. Yes, you should. OK - sounds sensible, will rename to Brief Lives (Sandman), pending someone who's read it writing something about Aubrey's Brief Lives :). --AW

OK, I put up a page for Aubrey's Brief Lives. I made sure that no Sandman stuff links to that page now. Anything else I need to do? --12.64.12.230 20:17, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC) (Oops! I mean --PRiis 20:20, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC))

I've renamed all the Sandman comic books under that form: "The Sandman: Name of the book". I find this way more logical and easy than Name of the book (Sandman). This form can be used for every series in comics as well. Helldjinn 11:01, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I had a Wikipedia + Sandman attack (of the worst kind). Any feedback on the recent Chapter summaries? Shall they continue in their present form, cease completely, or continue, albeit modified? A1437053 05:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Finished. But it may need editing and maybe reducing of information. Tried to be as faithful and exhaustive as possible. Zuracech lordum 20:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a proposal to reorganize the Sandman articles by story arc instead of by trade paperback. My full proposal and discussion on the issue can be found at Talk:The Sandman (Vertigo)#Reorganize storylines.--Marcus Brute (talk) 00:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would just like to say that I think the current level of detail is just about perfect. It enabled me to find the precise page I was looking for in very short order and should not be shortened. --Tyr 155.245.20.34 (talk) 15:38, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
