Liefeld
editI removed the reference to Liefeld.
We cannot go around comparing real people to amoral psychoapths. Spike is evil. Liefeld is a real person. Actual libel cases have gone on because of situations like this.

- Without a source it is original research. If there is a quote from the artist then it may be worth including - it isn't libel reporting then (although it might fall under the bibliography guidelines against anything too defamatory against living people). (Emperor 22:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
- I'm recalling the time that Todd McFarlane named a murderous mobster after a real-life hockey player. This got Todd sued. I just don't think we should touch situations like this, even second hand. If Mike Allerd wants to say he patterned a murderous psychopath after so and so, well, Wiki doesn't -have- to report it. Lots42 23:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- We are perfectly in our rights to discuss situations like that without breaking any rules or leaving us equally liable. See e.g. Jonah Hex#Lawsuit. As long as the wording is right. (Emperor 02:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC))
- Maybe, but the supposed resemblance is not supported by an appropriate reference. As it is controversial and has been uncited for several months, I have removed it from the article. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 02:39, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
