Talk:Robin Hood

I think that in proper names, having "noun" section that just states: An XXXX (with) similar (to) YYYY is at least without sense. Every well known (or even if it is "less known") proper name is used in literature, poetry and films with that meaning (in all known, dead or alive, languages), either for stating the obvious (as in the cited example) or ironically or figuratively. A usefull entry, in a noun section, would be IF (and only IF) the noun was used with another meaning, not directly related to any of the proper noun "meanings" (some proper nouns have more than one "meaning").

"go play" Robin Hood, Mandella, Hitler, Poseidon, Xena "... elsewere ..." is so common (in every language) that does not add "value" (to the lemma) to have a separate section with the "noun" holding an obvious meaning. ("common" but with differences in the way phrase is constructed, because not in every language "go play" is translated word for word, as some languages have their own idioms).

In case the readactor wanted to "express" that the meaning is so "strongly" used in every day conversations as a phrase (replacing others that might have the same result in meaning), then the citation is wrong, since it comes from literature, poetry, film etc., and not from an "every day conversation". --Xoristzatziki (talk) 06:48, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
