I'll have a shot at it. I can't promise anything will come of it, but I'll see if I can make it worthy of the EG.

I figured their didn't seem much point in an Entry about a letter. I couldn't think of much more to add and I thought it wasn't worth the trouble.

Talk to Gnomon. U151503

He has an entry somewhere on the alphabet and letters in general and he can offer advice about 'i' and 'j' and how there never was a 'j' when Samuel Johnson wrote his first dictionary.

"There is an entry for IJ in Johnson's dictionary. I and J were considered to be two forms of the same letter, rather than two different letters. I mentioned this in my History of the Alphabet Entry."

This doesn't really seem like a good subject for an Entry. Maybe writing one about *all* letters of the alphabet, but just I... smiley - huh

I see this as being borderline. I do agree with you, but that said h2g2 does have an article about just one letter - see: A2922077 Thorn - Missing Letter of the Alphabet. So potentially it is possible to write an article just about the letter 'I'...

One for 'Last Chance to Rescue' I feel.

This has been in 'Last Chance to Rescue' for a month with no interest shown, therefore Back to Entry.
