Third party should evaluate this as a bad faith removal.  One of the two deleted links is not "Catwoman fan stuff" as was stated but an Alfred-Centric story similar to the previous one which had remained for months.  This would have been apparent if deleting user had bothered to read the first chapter or even first paragraphs.  Suspect this is vindictive removal related to dispute brewing in Catwoman article, hence that designation.

: Wasn't bad faith, was a bad read, but I still think it should go. As I mentioned in email to you (assuming the email was you), the External Link Policy, under Occasionally acceptable links is listed Fan Links.  If, when I went to the link, it said 'Alfred Pennyworth Fan Fic' I might have thought 'Ahah, this is about Alfred. Instead, my browser reads 'Catwoman Fan Fiction' and ... well, Alfred != Catwoman. Ergo, the site is about catwoman, with an Alfred section.  Or, as I re-read it, one Alfred story. Frankly, I don't have an opinon on fanfic, one way or the other.  I removed both becuase I looked at Catwoman and remembered that the Diamond Exchange fan link had been previously removed (and added back and removed again), and agreed that a single fan work really wasn't notable enough to remain on the site.

thread_title:  3rd party should review edit 

message: Alfred is synonymous to it, yet (as far as i can see) there's not one mention of it in the entire article--TommyStardust 19:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Dry British Humor

message: What? No mention of Alfred's backgground as a theatre actor prior to being employed by the Waynes?  I know it was referenced in a Batman annual and also in the Nightwing special, Alfred's Return. He's used those skills to impersonate Bruce and some other people in order to provide an alibi for Bruce Wayne. --Destron Commander 10:12, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alfred the actor 

message: I'm no Bats expert, but I've read (Daniels, DC Comics) Alfred was created for the serial. Also, when did Bob Kane become Bats' writer?  Trekphiler 08:32, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Born again? 

message: I think the link for Alfred on "The Batman" played by Alastair Duncan should be changed or removed.  It links to a different Alastair Duncan, who while still an actor, died in 2005.  The IMDB page that is linked to that Alastair Duncan does not state he did any voicework on "The Batman".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.100.240 (talk) 16:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm familiar with Bruce Wayne adopting Dick Grayson and Tim Drake, but don't recall him adopting Jason Todd.  Are you certain that occurred?

thread_title: Adopting the Robins

message: In the "Post-Crisis" section, the article refers to "assorted versions" of Alfred's history which have appeared post-Crisis.  It would be helpful to readers if the article indicated where these conflicting histories appeared.  (I don't know, or I'd add the information myself.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:12, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alternate histories 

message: Like the Batcave, Alfred was created by the screenwriters of the 1943 Batman movie serial! It has been a while since I read it but according to BATMAN: The 1940s' NEWS STRIPS intro by Joe Desris, Alfred was written in the script for the series that DC was reviewing. The editor (Whitney Ellsworth?) might have suggested that the character be written in the comic books. However, no one knew what he would look like so Robinson came up with a sterotypical british butler type. However, Bob Kane was on the set of the movie serial and saw that the actor was thin and wore a mustache! When he and Bill Finger started working on the Batman Newspaper strip, they introduced their "new" Alfred, one that resembled the actor! Eventually the comic book version took on the appearance of the Newspaper strip incarnation and was given the grown a mustache\lost weight explanation.MARK VENTURE (talk) 06:21, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
