thread_title: Invisibility Category?

message: Tom Tresser has redirected this article on Monocane to this movie Invisible Man without any discussion on the appropriateness of his act, based on his opinion that the Monocane article was "non-notable" 
To me, the mere fact that so many references from the entertainment world references it -- as a sort of inside joke -- clearly makes it notable, and makes it a suitable target for Wikipedia. I went to the monocane article when I heard it on a Matlock and wanted to know what it was. I found the article useful in my quest.
With Tom's redirection, the information on what monocane is would be hidden in the body of the Invisible man article, and its nature as a running (and therefore non-accidental) reference is not available at all.
I'm not sure why he persists on deleting information without gaining consensus or even engaging in discussion on this. I don't believe this arbitrary behavior is typical of him or appropriate for Wikipedia. Please, someone who agrees with me, revert this article and continue to argue for its existence.
Let's see what others have to say, Please give your justifications and comments on the discussion page

thread_title: Monocane redirected to here

message: Just a thought on this: I'm of a mind to create a Monocane/Monocaine disambiguation page along the lines of User:The Parting Glass/Sandbox, and then have Monocane redirect there.  It would have the effect of tying the information together without trying to assert or suggesting that a mention of a word homonymic to "Monocane" (let's face it, we haven't verified the spelling on these) necessarily means a reference to The Invisible Man, as well as serving those who've typed in "Monocane" when they actually meant the dental anesthetic.  – The Parting Glass 14:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:The Invisible Man.jpg

message: This line appeared at the beginning of the summary: "However, his dark secret is slowly revealed to his suspicious landlady and the villagers: he is an invisible man."  
On the contrary, Griffin's secret is revealed quite suddenly during his maniacal removal of his clothes and bandages.  The meddlesome landlady and the villagers are extremely suspicious of Griffin's peculiar behavior and attempt to spy on him until that time, but "his dark secret" is not "slowly revealed"; it's rather abrupt.

thread_title: Plot Summary

message: I am adding not only the cast here, but also facts about them that isn't there in the production page, the sources were I got the explanations for the Cast Lists are from IMDB: 
* Claude Rains as Jack Griffin/The Invisible Man, According to information given on TCM before the movie is shown, Claude Rains was also chosen for the role because he spoke with such clarity and could be easily understood. This was important since his face was covered for almost the entire film. Rains' performance in this film also inspired Mark Hamill's portrayal of The Joker. 
* Gloria Stuart as Flora Cranley
* William Harrigan as Professor Arthur Kemp
* Henry Travers as Dr. Cranley 
* Una O'Connor as Jenny Hall, During the scenes with Una O'Connor, the hysterical pub landlady, James Whale struggled to control his own laughter, as he adored O' Connor's humor.
* Forrester Harvey as Herbert Hall
* Dudley Digges as Police Lieutenant 
* Harry Stubbs as Police Commissioner 
* E. E. Clive as Constable Jaffers 
* Dwight Frye as Reporter, The reporter who offers suggestions to the police chief was played by Dwight Frye. He is best known for playing Renfield in "Dracula (1931)." He also played Fritz in "Frankenstein (1931)" and Karl Glutz in "The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)."
