Military helicopter; needs to meet WT:BRAND. Equinox ◑ 23:38, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

I've changed the def to read - (informal) the Bell UH-1F variant of the "Huey" military helicopter - so I don't think WT:BRAND applies. But it still needs verification.--Dmol (talk) 00:45, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Also an American fictional character -- anyone need sources thereon? Collect (talk) 16:15, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

So, passes RFV, based on the linked-to citations, and Dmol's comment? - -sche (discuss) 00:19, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

RFV-passed. The other sense is tagged RFD. - -sche (discuss) 00:18, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Green Hornet

"An American fictional vigilante, originally a character on a radio serial." Comic-book character, not a generic English phrase. Delete per Talk:Clifford the Big Red Dog. Equinox ◑ 16:36, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

What, no RFV? Are we going to strike this one down with a rain of delete votes as we did with the well-cited Lassie? DAVilla 03:37, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

I hope not -- the helicopter is named after the fictional character, after all. The fact it is capialized as a proper noun should be a clue. Collect (talk) 13:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Delete or RFV I don't oppose an RFV but if it passes it would seem perfectly reasonable to list it here again, as being attestable does not exempt any entry from the rest of WT:CFI. My name is John is attestable but we don't have it. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:56, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Assuming it was attested outside of the fictional universe, how would it fail any other part of CFI? What criterion does Lassie fail, or was that just a delete fest? What is it about these entries that get your condemnation while other fictional characters do not? DAVilla 23:07, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

When did "comic book character" become a reason for deletion? In any case, he's also a character from radio, TV, and cinema, and the term was one of General Patton's nicknames. It's a proper noun, and we don't have good criteria for deciding proper nouns. This should go to RfV. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:15, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

• Kept after redefining as the specific squadron. --ElisaVan (talk) 21:54, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
