RFD discussion: November 2021–September 2022

[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


Not the generic Cub Scout leader sense, but the proper noun: "A fictional panther character in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book." Equinox 06:40, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Some other uses as cat's names on google books. None Shall Revert (talk) 12:14, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Delete the Kipling-specific sense; I don't think we want entries for every mononymic fictional character; compare Talk:Kaguya (about an individual real animal). If it's reasonably common as a name for a cat, I guess we could include that and mention Kipling in the etymology (unless it predates him), like we include given names (Matt, etc). - -sche (discuss) 01:12, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
If someone really thinks they can sufficiently cite an attributive sense we could move to RFV, but for now I vote to delete. - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 00:17, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
I've deleted the Kipling-specific sense, but added a sense a la {{given name}} because it's a name various people give to their (various) cats. But maybe that too should be deleted; I know there are certain names we don't want to have, e.g. naming a dog Dog and a giraffe Giraffe, etc, and I think we decided nicknames were a can of worms, too. On the other hand, we have Fido and Spot and Daisy. - -sche (discuss) 17:17, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
