Name
The character's name is "Schlemihl", not "Schlemiel", and the article should be (uncontroversially) moved. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 08:21, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I strongly agree. The book is "Peter Schlemihl" and the current title of the article is therefore simply wrong. -- Picapica (talk) 18:00, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Name (2)
The inconsistency in spelling (probably due to cultural differences in orthography) needs to be sorted out and clarified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.70.89 (talk) 07:24, 9 February 2012‎

Later retellings

That material widens the readers' understanding of the character and should be restored. Apart from the last three entries (Wilde, Kertész, Corneau), it's not original research and is largely self-sourcing. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:03, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
