Talk:List of Silver Age comics creators

Logic or list?
Should the reasoning behind including certain individuals (and, by extension, for NOT including others) be enshrined on the page itself, or is a simple straight-forward list the preferred look? ntnon (talk) 02:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think some sort of reasoning would be good, but I don't know what it would be. I just copied them over from the main Silver Age article so I don't know what the original reasoning was there.  First, the creator has to be notable, as shown by a blue or red link.  They should also have been active in the period 1956 to 1970.  Jack Kirby for instance should be included, even though he worked in the Golden, Silver, and Bronze age.  I don't think Jerry Siegel would make the cut, because he was mostly a Golden Age writer and didn't do much in the Silver Age that seems important.  Maybe anyone who worked during the time period should be included, even Siegel.  What do you think?  I'll add a sentence to the article to get things started. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 04:37, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * For the bluelink individuals, I'm not sure we need to have any additional comment, which would surely lead to prose-creep, unless there were some special, extenuating reasons for inclusion &mdash; Jerry Siegel, for example, might note, "primarily Golden Age of Comic Books creator" or somesuch since he did create superheroes for Archie Comics in the 1960s.


 * We might want to include a footnote to, say, a comic-book database entry or a Lamiek Comiclopedia page for the redlink individuals. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:36, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
