Talk:Charlie Peace (comics)

The real Charles Peace

This should probably be merged with Charles Peace or retitled 'The Astounding Adventures of Charlie Peace' to reflect the title of the comic strip. I have copied a precis of this entry to Charles Peace. Sfgreenwood 14:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it The Astounding Adventures of Charlie Peace as the character hasn't just appeared in that strip - he's also in Albion. I'm not sure about merging it, either - should a real criminal share an article with a fictional character he inspired? I think this article really needs to stay, but should be fleshed out to follow the WP:CMC/X layout, covering publication history and the like. If we need to disambiguate the two, moving this to Charlie Peace (comics) might be an option, possibly keeping Charlie Peace as a disambiguation page? --Mrph 21:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd go with Charlie Peace (comics) for now at least, since the Charles Peace article is way more a magazine feature than it is an encyclopedia article, with no footnotes, very few wikilinks, an essayish tone, and a remark under References that it copied wholesale some public-domain text, rather than distilling the encyclopedic points. That article needs enough work on its own. It mentions the comic strip in a couple of sentences, which is fine -- Charlie Peace (comics) can describe the comic strip at article-length. Just my two cents. Or two shillings, as the may be. Ha'pennies? --Tenebrae 04:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I think the "Charlie Peace" that appeared in Albion was just a reference to this character, but that's beside the point. I agree that this article should be retitled to The Astounding Adventures of Charlie Peace, as that was the name of the strip. I added a comic strip infobox, but couldn't really find much info to expand the article.Konczewski 02:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
