The contents of the Kaitō (thief) page were merged into Gentleman thief on 2014-02-21. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
This page needs some major re-doing. Looks like it's up to me! *theme music*
Would this be a good time to note the decidedly uncouth and loosely-worded vocabulary of most of this article? It appears to strongly contrast with the refined textbook speech of the majority of Wikipedia. If others do not take action soon, then I am afraid I shall have to do so myself. I just hope I can translate this American rubbish properly. --User: Hardcoach
You were right to smell a rat there... it appears that most of that text was copied directly from TVTropes, where that writing style is more in character. Have reverted to the last good version now (from a month ago - ouch). Slovakia (talk) 14:11, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Kaitō (thief) be merged into this article, as the Kaito (thief) one was created in August 2013 out of the section for phantom thieves in Eastern media without much need for distinction between the Eastern and Western version. As both articles are stub-class, this is heavily redundant. -AngusWOOF (talk) 14:20, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few characters on the list that I'm not so sure count as gentlemen thieves. For example, Gru, Jack Sparrow, and the characters from Grand Theft Auto V. But maybe I am wrong. Ideally we would have some kind of reliable sources for this information. Pythagimedes (talk) 03:29, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. This article has grown without good editorial control, and now lists a number of trivial and minor characters without citations or evidence that they are 'Gentleman thieves' or are of any importance. Can someone review it and drastically edit it back to the original definition?Masato.harada (talk) 08:50, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
