[edit] Primary Sources

I must confess I'm a bit confused about the "no primary sources" guideline as it applies to fiction. It seems to me that in presenting factual information (not thematic analysis or criticism) -- things like "The story shows super-villains exiled to an alien world" -- it should be sufficient to cite the book. It's certainly verifiable: all someone has to do is locate a copy and read it. The idea that a third-party publication is a more reliable reference than the book itself seems to violate common sense. It's apparently sufficient to cite a written account of a real event, but not a written account of a fictional event? --Kelson (talk) 20:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

It's the thematic analysis or criticism that is lacking in this article. Pairadox (talk) 00:51, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Status of Gorilla Grodd

Okay, enough with this edit war stuff. we have topick a status and stick to it. I don't know how things are done on Wiki entries on comics, so enlighten me and the rest of us as to how a situation like this, a character who's death is questionable, is to be handled.
