This is the talk page of a redirect that targets the page:
• Gingerbread man
Because this page is not frequently watched, present and future discussions, edit requests and requested moves should take place at:
• Talk:Gingerbread man

Fairy tails and kids stories aside, is there really no connection between the Gingerbread Man and Mr. Bill? 200.41.2.144 (talk) 01:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it can be cited to any reliable source, but it is obvious to me that both this Gingerbread Man and Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo were inspired by Mr. Bill. Mike R (talk) 20:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite[edit]

This article either needs a from-the-top-down rewrite or just plain 'merge' back into the movie articles. I recommend merge. Lots42 (talk) 05:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously? This someone's idea of a joke? 75.104.172.139 (talk) 04:40, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gingerbread Man (Shrek) → Gingy — Since Gingy is the name he is most referred to and a name that needs no disambiguation, I propose we move the page to there.. Harry Blue5 (talk) 10:02, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen three of the movies (plus Shrek 3-D) and don't recall the name "Gingy". Maybe my memory is faulty... Powers ^T 20:53, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gingy is used pretty much always when referring to the character. Think about it, do you ever recall them saying "Gingerbread Man" to him? 194.80.20.181 (talk) 09:29, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Honestly, I don't recall the other characters addressing him directly more than once or twice anyway. Powers ^T 12:35, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Heck. Shrek Wiki has the name of Gingy for the character. While this proves nothing really, it does prove its not just something made up on the spot. 194.80.20.181 (talk) 09:49, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. See [1] [2]... I get five times as many hits for Gingy (your results may differ), and while being from an open wiki it's borderline at best as a reliable source, http://shrek.wikia.com/wiki/Gingy is a reasonable starting point IMO. Andrewa (talk) 20:28, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
