OK. Like it says, this is a stub, because I don't have the time right now to write up the article that this topic deserves. I'll post more as I have time. --Popefelix 02:53, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] GrimJack page revival

I figured with the recent rerelease of GrimJack stuff, it would be worth expanding the page... I also moved it to the more correct 'GrimJack' page. --Triseult 07:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Bob (First Comics) here

The character of Bob is non-notable outside of the GrimJack series. The brief information in that article should be moved into this one. -- JHunterJ 18:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Gonna have to agree on that one. Despite my personal feelings on Grimjack, for Wikipedia, it can all be summed up in a single entry for now. Donovan Ravenhull 19:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose What do you have against poor Bob? This is, what, the second or third time you've gone after something related to the character? Bob had many stories separate from GJ in the Munden's backup feature. Otto4711 19:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
    What I've got against Bob can be summed up as "lack of notability". I have never gone after him; you may have taken it personally when I reverted your addition of the then-redlink article to the Bob disambig page, but that was out of general disambiguation-article guidelines, not out of anything against Bob. I notice you have no problem recommending other articles be deleted or merged for notability (which I tend to agree with). Why do you think Bob is more notable than the winner of some reality TV show? -- JHunterJ 21:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Naw, I didn't take it personally, just a reaction to what seemed to be a manifestation I've noted recently of editors jumping on stuff very quickly. As for Bob's notability, he's an important supporting character in a well-regarded series about which interest is continuing, who had a number of solo stories apart from the main character. See for example Willie Lumpkin (who, admittedly, has the comic strip to boost his notability). Now, if you wanted to do a section in the GrimJack article for supporting characters and link it back to Bob's article, I'd be fine with that, and I plan to write some more articles about other characters and flesh out Bob's article, but the character is sufficient to sustain his own page.

  • In thinking about this further, I still think there's enough information about Bob to sustain his own article and I'm still planning on writing more about other supporting characters, but in the interest of concentrating the information I'm thinking that a GrimJack supporting characters article would better serve.
