Talk:Nakke Nakuttaja

RFD discussion: August 2017–December 2019
Woody Woodpecker doesn't have an English entry. Should this? PseudoSkull (talk) 16:01, 29 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. Equinox ◑ 16:50, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * No objection to deletion, but I'd like to point out that we have an English entry for each of Santa's reindeer (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen, if one would want to check). Besides, I believe that there are situations when at least I might want to search this term in a dictionary. Unless we can delete Santa's reindeer, I would rather suggest that we add "Woody Woodpecker". Also, one might argue that Woody W is about as well-known fictional personality as e.g. Winnie the Pooh. --Hekaheka (talk) 07:56, 15 September 2017 (UTC)


 * We have the Santa reindeer entries because Daniel Carrero likes reindeer. That is not a lexical argument. Equinox ◑ 03:42, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * If there's one thing I fucking hate is when people put words in my mouth. I created the reindeer entries, yes, but I don't like everything I create entries for. I could have created an entry for cancer or something.
 * We seem to accept all mythical and folkloric entities like Santa Claus himself, but I don't mind to be proved wrong if we come up with some present or future rule against that. See also Category:en:Folklore and Category:en:Mythology.
 * This is different from fictional characters belonging from comics, films, etc. like Woody Woodpecker. Delete Nakke Nakuttaja in the absence of any good reason to keep it. Actually, maybe keep-ish since we have kept a few notable entries for characters for one reason or another, including Winnie the Pooh as mentioned above. Again, this is different from mythological and folklorical creatures that are not tied to cartoons, comics, etc. belonging to some specific company or author. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 13:57, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Santa's reindeer seem to be named by one person, too . When do they become "folkloric"? When sufficient number of people use them without knowing the origin? Whatever the truth, this demonstrates how difficult it is to draw the line. --Hekaheka (talk) 09:14, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Might as well just delete. S URJECTION ·talk·contr·log· 11:13, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per utramque cavernam 23:52, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. I think we should reconsider undeleting Woody Woodpecker, given the statement at Talk:Woody Woodpecker that said "The debate here was whether to keep the entry, even acknowledging that it's attested pr FICTION, debating whether it's dictionary material." It seems Woody was deleted either in disregard of WT:CFI, which has a rather stringent provision for fictional characters, and even that provision seems to have been overriden. See Citations:Woody Woodpecker. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:50, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Undelete Woody Woodpecker and Keep Nakke Nakuttaja, because the term is definitely well-known and notable. 46.132.191.109 18:11, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm moving to start a RFD to undelete Woody Woodpecker (see Requests for deletion/English), and to assume its result on this deletion discussion as well, deleting this if the entry isn't undeleted and keeping this if it is. &mdash; surjection &lang;?&rang; 15:33, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * RFD-deleted based on the fact that the English RFD did not end up restoring the entry. &mdash; surjection &lang;?&rang; 18:35, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
