Talk:Magua

Untitled

• Question: Do we ordinarily include "The" at the beginning of the disambiguator in cases like this? (we don't include it for band names, but I'm not sure about book titles). —BarrelProof (talk) 19:36, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
  • The above-referenced guidance on band names has been reverted, as discussed at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Music/Archive 8#RfC: using "The" in song/album article titles and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1020#Request to re-open RfC and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive314#Request to re-open the July 2019 MOS:THEMUSIC RfC and in this edit summary. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:35, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Yes, we do, per WP:THE, if that's how it's most commonly used in sources. Station1 (talk) 09:20, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
• Support per nomination. Fenimore Cooper's Native American villain is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. There are five entries listed in the Magua (disambiguation) page and, unlike other fictional characters, such as David Copperfield, Oliver Twist or Jean Valjean, whose names have instant recognizability, this character from a 19th-century novel is not the novel's central figure nor did his name become part of our language or culture. As for "The" in the title, all book editions, except one, depict "The Last..." —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:53, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
  • The comments about "The" were not about whether the word was in the title of the book or not. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:50, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:PRIMARYUSAGE. It gets more than triple the pageviews of everything else combined. Station1 (talk) 09:20, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Why Magua

It’s so similar calling him that name, because Mágua(same pronounce. Means many words linked to sorrow. It makes him a great enemy Deinis (talk) 12:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
