Talk:Greg Rucka

Video game writer
Rucka wrote the plot for the video game Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow. It should probably be written into the article. Here's the source: - Throw 16:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

First writer to write Action and Detective
This is untrue - Siegel and Shuster were writing Superman in Action Comics while also writing Slam Bradley in Detective Comics. Furthermore, any claim to this effect would be unverifiable anyway - for decades DC used anonymous writers and artists on Superman and Batman who worked uncredited, and it's not always the case that we know who wrote what.

On leaving DC?
Should his leaving DC be elaborated upon? If so, this quote from his AMA on Reddit seems to describe the conditions of it well: The quick version, and without casting aspersions, comes down to the fact that I was terribly, terribly unhappy, and in almost-constant conflict with various people in editorial. The straw that broke the camel's back was, honestly, one broken promise too many. And there had been a LOT of broken promises leading to the last one.

I was at DC for the better part of ten years. It was time to go. RobertM525 (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

the old guard: force multiplied
so just to be clear, according to the genius who contributed this info to Rucka's bib, Greg Rucka wrote #1 in December 2019 then went back in time continuously until #5 came out in July 2017. FUCKING GENIUS.

Son's arrest
I propose leaving out the arrest of his son. It had nothing to do with Rucka, and it was just an arrest.לילך5 (talk) 20:27, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. Rucka's son is a none notable person and WP:BLPCRIME states: Accusations, investigations and arrests do not amount to a conviction. For individuals who are not public figures; that is, individuals not covered by § Public figures, editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured. WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE also states that In such cases, exercise restraint and include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources. The sources that User:FrankensteinsDad keeps finding are typically labeled generally unreliable/deprecated by WP:RSP (WP:NYPOST, WP:THESUN, & WP:DAILYMAIL) or have little to no information about their editorial staff or policies (newzandar.com, reportdoor.com, etc). Given there's no high quality coverage of a conviction, I don't think it should be included here or at Jen Van Meter. Sariel Xilo (talk) 21:02, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Even without that alphabet soup of policy, it just isn't relevant. If his son had a page of his own I'd agree all that policy would apply there, but on this page adding incidents involving his family that do not involve him other than some blood or relationship ties isn't irrelevant.לילך5 (talk) 21:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * As you requested, I omitted all three of those reference sources, but I still have submitted at least eight others that are surely valid. The section on Rucka's personal life mentions him having a wife and 2 kids,so I didn't bring his family into this. FrankensteinsDad (talk) 22:40, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

 * His child is a different person from him. Stop putting it back in the article, everyone disagrees with you FrankensteinsDad.לילך5 (talk) 03:43, 19 July 2022 (UTC)


 * A fake name? That's an egregious attack.---Lilach5 (לילך5) discuss 04:40, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Note: Following FrankensteinsDad's indef ban on Greg Rucka (see Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents), I've collapsed their comments above per WP:RPA & removed the comments which violate the biographies of living persons policy. Sariel Xilo (talk) 15:33, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
