James T. "Joker" Davis[edit]
Has only appeared in one film, the article contains only information that is already in the film's article.--The Dominator (talk) 01:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge/Redirect to The Short-Timers, the novel where the protaginest appears. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 03:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's the thing though, should it redirect to the book or the film? The character's name is the same although the names of the work are completely different, I suppose the book came first, but there's much more information on the character in the film article.The Dominator (talk) 04:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I suggested the book because the movie was based on the book and the book came first........but if there's more info on him in the movie then maybe the movie.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hehehe, that's not a very helpful comment =) --The Dominator (talk) 05:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Perhaps a disambiguation page would be appropriate? TheBigFish (talk) 04:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A whole seperate dab page on a barely notable character pointing readers to info on him in a book and a movie would be inappropoate. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I don't think a disambig is appropriate as there is only one meaning for the term, what would it look like?

"James T. "Joker" Davis can refer to:
- Pvt. Joker a character in the book The Short-Timers and it's film adaption", and the character is not very notable if you think about it, the movie was very notable and significant but not necessarily because of its protagonist.The Dominator (talk) 05:29, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I have a better idea: the title would redirect to James Davis (a disambig), very simple solution.--The Dominator (talk) 05:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmmm.....--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect all "Private Joker" articles (we'd have to search for all the permutations) to The Short-Timers, as there is no existence for the character outside of that book and its film. Utgard Loki (talk) 18:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
