I say go ahead.
I think splitting a work like this (when there are enough separate tropes to do so) falls under Works Pages Are A Free Launch.

Pika is the bombchu!
I'd make the main James Rolfe page a sort of catchall. List the other shows, give a short biography, mention his affiliations, and so on and so forth.
mudshark: I don't expect Nate to make sense, really.
All right. I have no idea how to launch pages, though.
Edit: Okay, I figured out how to start a page from scratch, but I don't know how to make Board James and Cinemassacre not a redirect to The Angry Video Game Nerd.
Would it be all right to have a separate page for Cinemassacre's Monster Madness? All the obscure movies he looked at deserve to be cataloged on a page, and it might be too much just for his own page.

I think you have to get them cut, then remake them as non-redirects.
No idea how to do that either.
I think you can do it by going into editing on another page, then change the URL to be that of the redirect. Then just delete the redirect thing.
Wait, what? I'm not sure what you're saying. If I ever try to go to the URL, it redirects me to the AVGN page; I don't see any way to get around it.
You change the URL while you're on the editing screen, and it takes you to the editing screen for the redirect.
I went ahead and blanked them for you; Cinemassacre and Board James are no longer redirects. Have at it.

Well, how do I redirect? Cinemassacre should redirect to James Rolfe.
I see the Awesomeness.
It's in the mark up help.
Fight smart, not fair.
The Other Troper
Cinemassacre is the site. James is the person. They should not be the same page.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

I'm not sure if there needs to be another page in addition to the three new ones.
It's super effective.
By the by, is anyone going to make that Board James page?
Didn't we used to be able to edit redirects by clicking the "redirected from" link on the page redirected to?

Should I put his Did Not Do The Research page on the cutlist?

"badass" doesn't anything in after used end fail be fine.
Fast Eddie, the creator of the site, restored the page upon its deletion. I'm pretty sure it's there for a reason.

But the Nostalgia Critic's Did Not Do The Research page was cut...
The Cat Knows Where It's At
I blanked Board James (again, apparently). I've only watched one of those videos and it was a while ago so I don't know much. I've also made The Cinemassacre a redirect to James Rolfe.

Any particular reason you blanked it instead of cutlisting it?

So it could be edited into a legit page. Sure, the link is no longer red and putting it on the cut list would give the same results, but I figured it wouldn't stay blank for too long. And, to Garnette that it won't, I'm going to go through the archive so I can add a list what Board Games have been review and maybe watch a couple of videos so I can add some tropes and hopefully give a proper summary (hell, I might just throw up a common sense summary now).
EDIT: I went ahead and threw one up. Yeah, it's not much, but it's a start until A) someone who knows more about it comes along (the OP perhaps) or B) I watch some of the videos and can provide a better description.

No reason to have the crowner up anymore. Can it be removed?
The best thing on TV Tropes I can compare the nerd to is The Nostalgia Critic, who not only has his overarching page of That Guy With The Glasses, but The Nostalgia Critic, Bum Reviews, and Ask That Guy With The Glasses. Aside from the Nerd character, there's also Board James to consider, as well as the Bullshit Man from You Know Whats Bullshit, and of course there's Rolfe himself, who has done movie reviews (including an enormous amount of "Monster Madness" reviews for October), directed movies himself, and even starred in a Super Bowl commercial.
I propose that this be split into four articles: The Angry Video Game Nerd, which will cover only the character himself, James Rolfe (or Cinemassacre, which will focus on Rolfe's movies, reviews, documentaries, and will contain links to his other personae, You Know Whats Bullshit, and Board James.
