Put the character on a comics Wikia with all the desired information and have Wikipedia link to it. Presumably a Wikia on comics can establish its own reliable sources list to allow comic fan journals (or what have you). If your desire is to overturn a central plank of Wikipedia policy - verifiability - then it would probably be wise not to present a "joke comic character" and a "fan fiction" dispute as plausible grounds to do so. en.User:Bodnotbod _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
