I don't know if it's a shared opinion, but for me, Wikipedia must be limited to links at the bottom of pages. I think there is relevancy to have a Robert E. Howard or even a Howard Phillips Lovecraft (Earth-1218) page on the Marvel wikia. Since we are a wiki that dwell primarily with what's Marvel, I think having articles for people who have no history within the Marvel Universe is unnecessary, even because information about them can be easily found in the Wikipedia. Characters that have should have a page here, like David Bowie and Beyoncé for example.
