Talk:Grape-kun

Improvements
I will work on improving the article further. I apologise for the bare refs, but prove-it is not mobile friendly.

I'll work on finding more tenders, but the current references should establish the subject as notable before death and notable globally (sources from UK, US, and Philippines).  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 05:55, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
 * They look fine now. Thanks for creating the article. It is a nice heart-warming little story. I've made some edits, added some information from the Japanese wikipedia page and created a stub article for Tobu Zoo to link to this. I've also added part of the information to the Humboldt penguin page and made some edits there too.--Josephus37 (talk) 12:41, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, uh, two things, the picture on the right says Grape is looking at the cutout on top of the rock, which is not seen in the Japanese version of this page, and I think the location seems different; also from the source I think Grape's death was announced in the morning of 13 Oct (GMT+9) instead of 12, when Grape actually died. I didn't correct this because both requires further verification, which is not possible for me due to limited Japanese reading ability.Vcharng (talk) 15:25, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm author of picture, and yes, Grape is not seeing the cutout on the right above picture. In addition, Grape swam occasionally, or stood in a place that was a little far away (like a picture, approx. 1 or 2 meter from cutout). Sorry for my poor English writings.

Merge?
I worry this article may fall victim to the rampaging Notability Detetionists, so can I sugest that it might be a good idea to add it in to the main Humbolt Penguin article? Maybe "Humbolt Penguin in Media" or "Notable Humbolt Penguins"? Unfortunately cute little articles like this tend to attract the ire of of those that hate happieness. 82.22.50.11 (talk) 22:58, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
