[edit] Brown jenkin

At best, a redirect to an article about the short story would be warranted, but we don't even have that. The article itself doesn't tell us anything about this non-notable beast, and it's mostly a quote form the story. User:Zoe|^(talk) 20:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete There isn't even a WP article on the story in which this character appears. There's definietly no need for an article that doesn't assert importance about a character that doesn't have much to begin with. -- Kicking222 22:33, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Cthulhu Mythos biographies. The character in question is moderately notable, in that he is portrayed as having the ability to travel through hyperspace, one of the first mentions of that concept in popular fiction (see Fritz Lieber's 1966 essay "Through Hyperspace With Brown Jenkin"). -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 21:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Cthulhu Mythos biographies. While the character is not notable enough for a stand-alone article, Brown Jenkin has reappeared in stories by later authors as well as the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. Also appears in the Masters of Horror series from HBO. The Dreams in the Witch House really shouls have an article, by the way. - CNichols 20:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per above. Whitejay²⁵¹ 11:24, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
