Talk:Crouchy

RFD
A common nickname for Peter Crouch. --Cova (talk) 15:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * We usually keep nicknames and aliases, for example Romulus. It doesn't violate Votes/pl-2010-12/Names of individuals, or indeed any vote or policy of which I am aware. So it's just a straight vote based on personal preferences, not rules. So I abstain, you guys work it out for yourselves. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:53, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I deleted [[Foxy]] some time ago because it was uncited (after a long RFV). - -sche (discuss) 20:06, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Not Foxy apparently, that was deleted by Robert Ullmann as a bad redirect to [[foxy]]. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:56, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, hm... ah, it was Fox. - -sche (discuss) 22:10, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I think, though I haven't got the book to hand, that it's also used as a nickname for the character Barty Crouch Sr. (or Barty Crouch Jr.?) in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. If I can find a citation for that, the entry could be expanded to the less controversial "Nickname of the surname Crouch", along the lines of Smithy or Jonesy.

 * Oh, good point/idea. - -sche (discuss) 09:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Personal preferences, eh? Delete. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 22:57, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I would at least expect to see some very convincing citations of this. Personal nicknames for specific people are probably beyond our purview, though some are interesting: did you know that the British tabloid press refers to Madonna (the singer) as Madge? Equinox ◑ 01:23, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * As does the American tabloid press, at least sometimes. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 21:40, 26 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep ; looks like a single word that is attestable. Pertinent regulation: probably WT:CFI. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:08, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep the generic nickname sense ("A common nickname for people with the surname, Crouch."); abstain on Peter Crouch sense. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:51, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Redefine Delete "Peter Crouch" sense, in light of added sense indicating use as a common nickname for a person surnamed "Crouch", per Smurrayinchester. Barty Crouch aside, Google Books reveals a CFI-worthy number of instances where a person, real or fictional, is surnamed Crouch and nicknamed Crouchy:, , , .

 * I have added a sense for the general nickname usage. bd2412 T 23:17, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete the more specific sense per BD2412. Smurrayinchester (talk) 20:00, 16 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I have removed the specific sense and kept the generic sense. - -sche (discuss) 00:01, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * This is done then, right? bd2412 T 15:31, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. :) - -sche (discuss) 02:32, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
