Talk:Christopher Robin

RFV discussion
Fictional character from Winnie the Pooh. Unlike Eeyore:, no generic use. Equinox ◑ 00:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This, along with the two above it, have been in RFV since August: see . --Yair rand 00:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I found a quote, but the real reason to keep this along with Piglet etc are the translations. The CFI should read: "any name with unexpected translations meets the CFI".--Makaokalani 16:17, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No it shouldn't. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I disagree, where the name is from some fictional universe. That's outside the remit of a dictionary. Equinox ◑ 18:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, the translation of a name can vary between translations. It's a fairly arbitrary decision on the part of the translator, just as the name itself is a fairly arbitrary invention of the author. Equinox ◑ 16:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Cited, arguably, by Makaokalani, back in March. I don't know if they're valid, but if no one objects in the next week or so, I'll "pass" this. —Ruakh TALK 23:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Update: the 1992 cite is not valid IMHO. Teasing a bit more context out of Google Books, we get:
 * Pooh did not realize that it was his own footprints he had been tracking until Christopher Robin told him what had been going on. He had been sitting in one of the trees watching the silly old bear going round in a circle. It is not always obvious to me, when I am doing something, that it is I who am doing it: at times I need a Christopher Robin to tell me.
 * so I don't think it counts.
 * So, correction: if no one adds another cite in the next week or so — or argues that the 1992 cite is actually valid — then I will "fail" this.
