Seems |notable. While I haven't really heard of this before, a cursory look at Scholar suggests this character was subject to some literary analysis: " Bob Acres is not the reputed author's original creation, but a compound of Jonson's Stephen, Bobadil, Cob, Matthew and Brainworm" https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF01514452?LI=true. He has a (short, but still) entry in this dictionary/encyclopedia-like work: {{cite book|author=Jonathan Law|title=The Methuen Drama Dictionary of the Theatre|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Tb-OAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA4|date=16 December 2013|publisher=A&C Black|isbn=978-1-4081-3148-0|pages=4–}}, and he is important enough to be a central subject of what seems to be a teaching exercise at {{cite book|author=James Stobaugh|title=British Literature: Cultural Influences of Early to Contemporary Voices|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z0837KqDProC&pg=PA238|date=1 November 2012|publisher=New Leaf Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-89051-673-7|pages=238–}}; to find just three sources.
