Talk:Poindexter (fiction)

I modified this page and the Poindexter (disambiguation) page. I hope it resolves the clean-up and link issues. I think it's ok to have this as the article of the same name, since it is longer plus I suspect most people think of nerd when they think Poindexter and are wondering how the name became associated. If not, well, that's what the disambig page is for, right? --KarenJo90 00:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I question the validity of this particular Poindexter being the one which belongs alone at the article of the same name. The most dominant would probably actually be the slang term, not a specific person (or character) of that name. Or, at the very least, perhaps the disambiguation page itself should be here. --Kaz 22:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

That link to poindexters.com shouldn't be there. It's got nothing to do with the article. 84.150.58.88 14:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Wait, so if this was set in 1955, and the kids were calling Hogarth "Poindexter" for being a nerd.. does that indicate bad timeline in the story, or an even earlier archetype for wikipedia to list? :) Jesset77 (talk) 08:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
