untitled discussion
editCan anyone think of a category for this page? Anyone? --VolatileChemical 02:33, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Done. ~ Hibana 03:14, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- I would've done that, but it's kind of a cop-out. VolatileChemical 18:32, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Why is Bill Lumbergh the only Office Space character with a page? ---WalterJid 20:21, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't think this page should be deleted, although there should be pages for the other characters Miss Maya Levy 05:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

editThis is an entirely subjective essay about a movie character. I don't think the topic should exist per WP:FICT, Office Space would be the place to put a few lines about him, but he's obviously a fan favourite. However, that doesn't make this page of unreferenced opinions and observations encyclopedic or policy compliant. Deizio talk 02:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- What kind of references would you expect? I removed the numerous "[citation needed]" tags from the article. The source of the statements is obvious: it's the subject movie, Office Space. What further information does one need? The act and scene number? The line number in the script? The chapter and time-offset of the scene? Sorry, I think it's good enough as it is without that extra weight. Reswobslc 04:31, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Bill's Clothing
editOne of the links after the main article is to a site that mentions putting together a Bill Lumbergh "costume". Although I would never have imagined Bill would be a cosplay subject, it's not a bad idea. Obviously, one could spend a massive amount of money assembling a BL costume, which would be prohibitive for a Halloween project. That being said, it's worth noting that BL wears both suspenders and a belt. This is a big faux pas in terms of men's style, but BL is so priggish it's not surprising he wears both. Note also that his pants are gray flannel dress pants, worn without a break, and his shoes are burgundy tassel loafers (like Brooks Brothers sells).
Neutral language, or lack there of
editThis article seems to read like someone's book report or blog comment. I don't object to the article myself (I love the movie), but the non-neutral language needs a lot of improvement.
Example:
| “ | He seems to represent the impersonal and oppressive business practices that Peter despises so much. | ” |
Should sound like:
| “ | In the movie, Lumbergh represents the impersonal and oppressive business .... | ” |
And so on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.171.191.60 (talk • contribs)
Gordon Gekko
editI think Bill Lumbergh's dress is a parody of Gordon Gekko's one, one character Bill tries to imitate. Do you think there are sources for this? 89.188.103.210 (talk) 10:28, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
