Talk:Koko/Kao K’o Kung

Maybe the name of the page should be changed to "KoKo the cat". Kao K'o Kung is the name of a cat in the books by Lilian Jackson Braun. It didn't occur to me that it might be confused for his name sake.
 * We don't need separate articles about the cats in Braun's books, unless you can demonstrate through the use of reliable sources that the cats have some kind of real-world relevance outside the Cat Who novels — such as being a recognizable character archetype who can be alluded to in other writing that has nothing to do with Braun or her novels. People who've never read an Agatha Christie novel in their lives still know who Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple are. People who've never seen an episode of The Simpsons still know who Bart Simpson is. What justifies an article in their cases is that they're cultural touchstones that are as widely recognized and noted and discussed outside their fictional worlds. We don't necessarily keep unreferenced articles about fictional characters that aren't recognized as cultural archetypes in their own right. Bearcat (talk) 21:14, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
