I'm not entirely sure this page needed to be created... This is a Gargoyles site afterall. We should ask ourselves why this page needs to exist here. Are we going to make pages on the GargWiki for every show Greg works on? I'm not saying it should be taken down, because it is only a page, it just seems silly. Just because there are similiar writers, voice actors, voice directors, etc. to Gargoyles should not entitle a show to a page here, in my humble opinion. Maybe if there were CLEAR references to Gargoyles, it wouldn't puzzle me so much. The Illuminati-The Light similarities are just that, they are not references to Gargoyles and shouldn't be listed as such. And if something like that warrants a page here, one must ask why Freakazoid and Darkwing Duck don't have pages here as they made CLEAR references to Gargoyles.

I figure if Spectacular Spider-Man and W.I.T.C.H. can have pages here then there's no reason not to include Young Justice. Plus knowing Greg, there will be a ton of Gargoyles in-jokes once the series starts airing regularly. --Algernon 14:45, 30 November 2010 (CST)

While I would personally have preferred to wait and see what other "Gargoyles" references appear in the series, I've got no problem at all with this page being here. It's cool. And let's face it, this wiki already gives Greg Weisman very special treatment, something else I also have no problem with. --GregX 15:07, 30 November 2010 (CST)
I love special treatment!!! But I don't want you guys to feel obligated to do this sort of thing for every one of my shows. I don't at all mind having this page here, but I won't be upset if the consensus is it should go. No hurt feelings either way.--Gweisman 19:28, 30 November 2010 (CST)

Like I said before, I'm not suggesting we remove the page. My only concern is the precedent this page sets. If this page exists, then a page for everything Greg has worked on should exist. Do we create pages for anything that references Gargoyles or only when Greg was involved and it references Gargoyles or is Greg's involvement enough to warrant a page with no reference to Gargoyles neccesary? Personally, I feel that since this is a Gargoyles Wiki, it should have to have some sort of Gargoyles connection or reference. Look, we all love Greg and his work, but this isn't GregWiki, its GargWiki. Spectacular Spider-Man and W.I.T.C.H. deserve pages because they directly reference Gargoyles, Star Trek deserves a page because it was referenced in the Gargoyles Universe and the voice actor connection bears mentioning, Darkwing Duck and Freakazoid should have pages because of the references they've made to Gargoyles. But Young Justice has made no real references to Gargoyles that I'm aware of, so the only reason to include it here would be that there was a similiar crew working on the show... and that opens a huge floodgate because Greg and Jamie have worked on a ton of stuff. Because YJ is already up and likely to contain Gargoyles references down the road, I'm fine with leaving the page up, but I just think we (the editors here at GargWiki) need to set some sort of standard of what gets a page and what doesn't. I feel that the excitment over Greg's new series is moving people to create pages for no particular reason. -- Matt 21:36, 30 November 2010 (CST)

Matt, you're right. We should come up with a rule of some kind. For example, Max Steel doesn't get a page because, as far as I know, Max Steel had no Gargoyles references. But then, I didn't like the show enough to watch past one episode, so who knows. I am all for mentioning Darkwing because we had a pretty big ref there, and yes, Freakazoid. Personally, I think it's all good. --GregX 23:43, 30 November 2010 (CST)

It may be considered overkill or too much work, but since the premiere and airing of The Spectacular Spider-Man, I kind of thought that Sister Wikias should be made like one for The Spectacular Spider-Man, one for W.I.T.C.H. and since now, one for Young Justice. Probably worth it or not, but just a suggestion. Antiyonder 17:31, 2 December 2010 (CST)

Well, we're not a wikia. While I wouldn't be opposed to expanding info on the other series Greg worked on, well... this is GargWiki and not GregWiki. Although, I would not be opposed to unofficially turning this into GregWiki. --GregX 18:08, 2 December 2010 (CST)
