Talk:Chewie

RFD discussion: September 2020–November 2021
Fails WT:FICTION as far as I can tell, because the citations all mention Wookiees and thus do not show usage independent of reference to the Star Wars universe. —Mahāgaja · talk 12:12, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete or move to RFV. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 18:47, 4 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Question: Is the diminutive "Chewie" ever actually spoken in the Star Wars movies? (I've only seen Star Wars I, so I wouldn't know.) If not, Chewie qualifies due to its originating outside the fictional universe (like Doomguy, Eeveelution, pedosaur, etc.) Khemehekis (talk) 02:05, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, the other characters often call him Chewie. —Mahāgaja · talk 17:58, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, OK. Then we need to find some cites that are more WT:FICTION-compliant. Khemehekis (talk) 19:16, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete, at least for the Star Wars character. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  18:17, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It is generally considered poor form to edit other users' comments and you should take special care not to introduce grammatical errors into the comments signed by others . For some strange reason, it also produced a formatting error. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  19:05, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Lingo, I didn't intend to edit your post, I meant only to change "Quostion" to "Question" farther up: "Qoestion: Is the diminutive "Chewie"..." and then add my own input farther down. I must have brushed the touchpad or something inadvertently to remove the "at" in your post and replace it with a carriage return (oops!). I'll try to make only one edit at a time and look closely at the result to ensure that doesn't happen again. Strange! Cheers, Facts707 (talk) 14:17, 8 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete, fictional character. Star Wars has been around for over 40 years now but I can't find any reference to "Chewie" meaning Chewbacca and not a chewy snack or roast or dog name or Chewie Inc. And it was mostly Han Solo (Harrison Ford) calling him Chewie in the first film. Not likely to be looked up here, but I really don't mind if he's in - adorable guy. Cheers, Facts707 (talk) 20:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And why would anybody else bother looking if we're already voting to delete? Just because you and the nominator can't find any doesn't mean that I can't, but I'm not going to waste my time if it's just going to be tossed out anyway. How do I know you'll have time to circle back, to even have the chance of changing your vote? DAVilla 20:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Strong vote to move to RFV. DAVilla 20:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I doubt anyone will be able to find three citations of an attributive sense, and if someone could, the part of speech and definition would need to be changed anyway (so not much would be lost by deleting and recreating). - excarnateSojourner (talk|contrib) 01:03, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

 * This has almost certainly been used idiomatically given that it's been part of our pop-culture vocabulary for over 40 years. For a hairy person? For someone who moans loudly? For a ride-or-die bestie? Citing it will be tricky due to the high signal-to-noise ratio. There's obviously tons of unidiomatic references to Chewbacca, but uncapitalized this is also (1) Australian slang for chewing gum, 2) an informal term for a pet chew toy, 3) an informal term for various chewy snacks.
