Content fork

None of the information in this article is unique. In part it's about sleep paralysis, which has its respective article, largely it's about mares and incubi/succubi, and a bit it's about hags. I'm skeptical "night hag" was ever common, and it does not warrant a page like this. Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 23:15, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Citation and Expansion

This article is underdeveloped, and undersourced, and doesn't meet Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards of a well developed and properly sourced article. A significant portion of its information is unsourced and needs to be either removed or given proper citations if they are available. Some sections are written in the style of bullet points and need to be rewritten so that it fits the appropriate style for Wikipiedia. This article does have potential to become GA or FA status if the proper attention is given to it. Hopefully someone who is willing to work on this article will help make it the best article it can be, developed to its fullest extent.--Paleface Jack (talk) 20:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mare?

Are they the same creature? Booger-mike (talk) 21:18, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My impression is that these are duplicate articles and should be merged. —Paleo Neonate – 06:37, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

Looking over this article, the way it is written and the information that it supplies is mostly centered on Sleep Paralysis phenomenon rather than the folkloric Night Hag. Essentially this needs to be removed or rewritten so that it is about the Night Hag rather than sleep paralysis, with information pertaining to the latter transferred to that article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:30, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
