[edit] A better place for video game reference?

I have a strong urge to delete the reference to Kain (Legacy of Kain) video game. It seems out of place under "references in literature". However, I'm up for a constructive solution. My reasons for deletion are:

• An arcane video game plot hardly qualifies as "literature". Rather, it is trivia - take a look at Wikipedia:Trivia.
• The meaning of fratricide has been more concisely illustrated by the previous examples. The game plot is hard to follow and distracting from the main article.

Reasons to keep it:

• There's a fine line between trivia and... whatever else there is
• It's funny (especially the smugly-written sentence fragment "An excellent example of Fratricide." at the end. Maybe when Wikipedia gets serious someone else will have the guts to delete it.

[edit] Pat Tillman

I removed the Pat Tillman section, due to the fact that while his killers may have been brothers in the sense of military comrades, they were not bloodline, nor family tied. Therefore, I believe his entry to be unwarranted. Jmlk17 09:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with this, but someone has replaced this since your removal. Clearly the reference does not belong in the list and is being placed there by somebody with a political agenda to push. Kingturkey 12:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Keeping legends and history separate

Kain killing Abel isn't a historical fact. It's a legend. Therefore it should be moved to the proper section. I agree —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.187.50 (talk) 19:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kludd/Soren

What about the Kludd/ Soren thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.39.228.1 (talk) 16:58, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll get right on that.--Silverbeak 02:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
