Talk:Knox Pooley

Out of proportion?
As I just wrote on the Fred Thompson discussion page (and this is a modified version of that note), it seems very odd that this character has a whole page, and that it exists solely to make Thompson himself look bad. This is a character from the show Wiseguy he played 20 years ago. As far as I know, it is not a well-remembered role, it is something of an outlier among his roles in general, yet here it seems this minor character now has his own page, which only the top 3 characters on Wiseguy have. It seems this character is adequately described on that page. Especially see the L.A. Times story today about this. I will also place a note on the recently-created Knox Pooley page. It's much out of proportion to both actor and TV show -- sounds like a hit job. I am willing to entertain counter-arguments, but if I don't hear any, I'll nominate this for deletion. --BunnyColvin 00:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Totally out of proportion. I can't find any other articles for any other characters on the show. Why does a minor character have an article? I've merged into Wiseguy. --Elliskev 14:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I created this article in the first place because when somebody told my wife that Fred was running for president, her first reaction was, "Knox Pooley for President?" and I concluded (correctly, I must say; thanks for the link to the L.A. Times article) that this could become a matter of public interest. I do see your point of view, though. -- Orange Mike 14:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
