Note[edit]

I think as commedia dell'arte characters go, Scapino is among the ones who is quite deserving of his own page and description. He has been a pretty popular character historically, (he is even the title character of at least 2 plays) and though the article is just a stub right now I am quite certain it is capable of being expanded into a full length article in short order.--Sobekneferu 08:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Perhaps I am biased being the one who made this page and all, but I don't think Scapino should be merged with Brighella anymore than French should be merged with Latin. One may be descended from the other, but they are separate entities. With the commedia characters, I think that, even if they are related to another, more popular or commonly known character, whenever there's more than a sentence or two of information on them they warrant their own article. Many of these characters, even seemingly minor ones, were popular for hundreds of years. Compare this to the fact that virtually every single character on the show Invader Zim has his own separate page.--Sobekneferu 23:20, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

scapino=scapin[edit]

Scapino is just a moderized version of the play scapin; suggested merging with original play scapin —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rushbugled (talk • contribs) 21:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Spelling[edit]

In the first words of the article, the name of the character is said to be 'Scappino, or Scapin'. The same forms are used at the French Wikipedia. However the title of the article is Scapino, so the Italian form but with a single p. I suppose this is the normal form in English, but the different spellings are not explained in the article and it is a little odd that the title is different from the boldface form in the lead.
