I think that this page should have an image of Doc Savage on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.100.91 ( talk) 19:39, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
We need to write a list of the novels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.22.184 ( talk) 13:57, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
You got it. I also included authors for each novel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuck Welch ( talk • contribs) 04:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
There is a book called The City of Gold and Lepers. The main character is ridiculously similar to Doc Savage (his name is Doc Ardan, he is a surgeon/inventor/explorer and he fights a mad Oriental criminal mastermind in an undiscovered city) but the book was first published in 1911. Could this have inspired Doc Savage? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.113.15 ( talk) 18:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
This paragraph certainly doesn't belong in the intro; maybe a place can be found for it later down, but it might make more sense as its own article. The topic of the paragraph would not seem to be the character Doc Savage, but the novel The Red Spider. Anyway, I'm parking it here for now.
To Dnyhagen: Looking at your user page you stated on September 21: "I found and removed some 220+ spam links last night, but I was at a loss how to 'annotate' them, once I'd deleted the offensive links. The 220 I found and deleted were as follows: a.) they were all posted by two anonymous sources, b). they referenced the exact same two sites (otrsite.com and freeotrshows.com) over 90 times each"
I didn't bother to check your other edits as they are in subjects which I had no interest. However, the list of Doc Savage episodes was added by a named Editor (Pepso). It links to a mere listing of episodes. That list does not violate any copyright. The content is verifiable. It on topic here. Please leave it alone. Chuck Welch 06:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Are the 1934 and 1943 shows copyrighted? If they are, and this page is selling them without authorization, then this would seem to be a page that "illegally distributes someone else's work" and therefore should not be linked to. If they aren't copyrighted or the site owner has authorization, then there's no problem. Nareek 16:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
The 1985 Radio serials do exist, at least Fear Cay and The Thousand Headed Man do (Conde Nast Publishing 1934). I don't know if the copyright exists on them, otherwise it could be uploaded to www.archive.org. Currently they are in a private collection 220.233.207.150 ( talk) 04:20, 29 April 2009 (UTC) htcs
See Talk:Bran Mak Morn#Ownership edits. Nareek 12:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I've removed this bit here from the article:
Lack of punctuation and improper use of punctuation — in conjunction with an unsourced supposition that probably qualifies as original research or subjective opinion — make this very hard to read and understand. There may be something here of value, so removing it here for someone else to "fix". I can't make sense of it. 12.22.250.4 22:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
It might interest some here that Patricia Savage is a stub. Perhaps move the information into this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.129.187 ( talk) 21:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Millmob2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Doc was created by Street and Smith’s Henry W. Ralston, with help from editor John L. Nanovic. Not by Lester Dent. 74.12.201.147 ( talk) 15:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Dictionary: Use one. No, I am not signing and I am not taking time to mess with it myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.184.80.30 ( talk) 21:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Much of this article reads like a fan's loving, uncritical essay. Way too much goes uncited -- books given without page numbers of the claim, quotes without sources, etc. The article needs much substantive footnoting. It also cannot keep containing POV judgments such as "a mature, naturalistic bent" unless they're the opinion of a recognized and cited reliable-source critic/author. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 12:58, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
hand-held automatic weapons were around (in the 20's if not earlier) before Savage was written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.239.21.74 ( talk) 23:49, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I took it out since machine pistols were well known by 1930. 72.72.114.101 ( talk) 19:13, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm think of removing those tags, because tagging an article without saying anything on the talk page drives me crazy. For instance, it says, "Its introduction provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject." I've just read the intro, and I have NO IDEA what the tagger's problem is. What do others say? Carlo ( talk) 18:37, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
A character named Axel Brass, based on "Doc Savage", is a prominent supporting character in Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's "Planetary" comic book. This could be referenced in the article and linked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.148.69 ( talk) 00:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
In the info box at the top of the article it lists Clark Savage as being an "alter ego". AFAIK, Doc makes no secret of his real name. It's not a secret alternate identity such as Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, etc. He only has one identity. Docsavage20 ( talk) 13:49, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Doc Savage sounds so similar to Buckaroo Banzai that I can't help but wonder if this character was a major influence? I wonder if anyone might be able to find evidence of this. MarkoOhNo ( talk) 10:20, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
The following material was contributed by more than one editor. It looks to be rank personal speculation with no refs, so I deleted it. I'm pasting it here in case there's anything to this that anyone wants to develop and ref it. Herostratus ( talk) 21:35, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

In the main article, there are many cases of "citatation needed". As the information is taken from the original pulps, as any Doc Savage fan would know, is that really necessary? ( 171.7.90.250 ( talk) 09:34, 3 February 2019 (UTC))
