[edit] Merge

  • No: Gotham Central is a is a series on it's own, and it should not be merged into a non-series article.~ Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 06:52, 2005 July 19 (UTC)
  • Partial. While on second thought (I was the one who initiated the suggestions) that Gotham Central shouldn't be merged based on the fact that it is a seperate series, there's no reason that the Major Crimes Unit article needs to stand on its own. It's a small article and it's not about police in general, so it can and should be merged into the GCPD article.--Mitsukai 13:23, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Partial Prior to this, I thought MCU was part of the Metropolis police unit. If it's part of Gotham's police force, sure, integrate the two - the MCU article isn't large enough to warrant its own entry. I'm not sure how I feel about Gotham Central and GPD being two seperate articles - this depends entirely on the extent of Gotham Central's deviations from the previous idea of the GPD - so I'll go with Mitsukai and say a series doesn't need to be part of the same article, with the GPD article linking to Central as an up-to-date, present rundown of Gotham's police force.

    • The MPD's version of the MCU is the SCU (Special Crimes Unit). I don't know if an article for that (or the MPD, for that matter) exists.--Mitsukai 11:56, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Partial I agree with Cyberskull and Mitsukai - Gotham Central is an award winning series and notable in and of itself. I hope to expand the article with more info soon. I also agree that the MCU should be merged with the GCPD article, with MCU left as a redirect there. Let me just say too that I think the GPCD article would and should be bigger, more data heavy and more up to date than the Gotham Central page as its scope is much broader (lots of Gotham cop action happens outside of GC).

      • Merged MCU and GCPD. Repealed merge on Gotham Central. All should now be right in the world. ^_^--Mitsukai 13:59, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] First appearance?

Should we use the first appearance info from the Batman page, as, presumably the GCPD has appeared at the same time as him? If someone could investigate, that would be great. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 11:47, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
