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)Reply

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

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

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

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)Reply
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)Reply
