Talk:List of Beano comic strips

Marmaduke Mean the Miser
This character only ever appeared in The Dandy Monster Comic and The Beano Book, not either of the comics. Dandy sourced from Dandy Monster Comic 1939 reprint. Beano sourced from Beano Special Collectors Edition: 70 years of Fun. Digifiend (talk) 13:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Lord Snooty
Relaunched - Lord Snooty the Third started this week drawn by Nigel Parkinson, presumably as part of 70th birthday celebrations. I tried to add it to current strips but the database is locked (is that my own fault for changing the category box first?). Digifiend (talk) 13:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Good, I can add it now. :) Digifiend (talk) 13:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Joe King (The Beano) into List of Beano comic strips
Lew's a legend but not seeing any justification for a standalone article here BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 20:35, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I think that article needs work but not necessarily merging. It needs proper sources and it's missing a lot of important information. It doesn't even mention the original artist for one. Eopsid (talk) 21:42, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * My thinking is that it can be un-merged when or if said work is done, or not merged at all if the work is done in the next few days. In the meantime it can drop nicely into that empty box on the table, where it's less likely to attract AfD and get nuked entirely. I am struggling to see a downside to that beyond another unreferenced, incomplete British strip getting undue weight due to Wikipedia's "once it's in, it stays" policy.

 * I'm aware I may be jumping in a bit late here, but I completely agree on all points. We ought to merge, for now at least. – GnocchiFan (talk) 11:57, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @GnocchiFan no, always happy to hear and I've got sidetracked on other bits anyway, so not too late at all. My thoughts on lots of comic articles (particularly non-American stuff where sourcing can be tricky) is that merging (actual merging where content is carried over) is very much the lesser of two evils compared to being picked up on a deletion sweep by someone not interested in the area.

Proposed merge of Singled Out (comics) into List of Beano comic strips
Needs better sources to stay as a standalone BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 23:11, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I think the Bash Street Kids article would be a better merge target for this. I support merging there. Eopsid (talk) 15:51, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Good call! BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 16:37, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
