Syldavia

Another fictional Tintin country. By definition, the citations cannot be independent of reference to the fictional universe, so it must fail WT:FICTION as far as I can tell. Equinox ◑ 05:01, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Both are intrinsically linked. But more quotations coming. -- Tukp (talk) 05:59, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Looks  cited. Ioaxxere (talk) 02:24, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

RFV Passed. Ioaxxere (talk) 18:51, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: This is a bad pass. There are citations like "he made up a country called Syldavia". That doesn't pass WT:FICTION. Saying "J K Rowling invented a thing called Hufflepuff" does not cite "Hufflepuff". @Ioaxxere if you are closing things like this, please stop, and read the rules, and discuss on Tea Room and Beer Parlour. This closure as pass is VERY WRONG. Equinox ◑ 04:08, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Posted above (so it won't be lost by the archive) "The second sense "A generic name of a fictional country" is definitely passing. The first (original) sense might be deleted, but there is precedent for keeping it in this kind of situation (like in Talk:Star Wars)" Ioaxxere (talk) 01:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
