We don't actually regard people who happened to draw a character's first appearance as co-creators. I even addressed this issue in another user's thread a few days ago. Only people who had actual creative input in the character's creation are credited as co-creators.

For example off the top of my head, we don't list Charles Soule or Carlos Pacheco as co-creators of Mosaic even though they wrote and pencilled the character's first appearance. Neither is Mike Deodato Jr. credited for the creation of Warp World characters like Iron Hammer, who was designed by Humberto Ramos. Similarly, Alan Davis is not listed as Nadia Van Dyne's co-creator.

The Marvel Database should reflect Marvel's official stance on issues like this. If Herb Trimpe is not officially credited as Wolverine's co-creator like that CBR article states, our site should not try to force the idea that he should be.

Also, Wolverine's article already has a note pointing out that Roy Thomas believes Herb Trimpe should be given co-creation credit.
