Talk:Snufkin

Reception needs more
"The character has a mostly positive reception." is true and don't get me wrong I love my man Snufkin, but this section could be a bit beefed up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alicepow8 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Apologies for accidentially adding. The text sounded like nonsense to me before i noticed the link to the Moomins and the japanese language version. Sorry. -- Chris 73 | Talk 10:31, 6 May 2004 (UTC)


 * However, is this character really worth an entry on its own, or can this be incorporated into the Moomin entry and redirected there? --Robert Merkel 13:21, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Very much worth one, and a longer one. Arguably the most important character.  69.49.44.11 06:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That's a bit like asking whether Hamlet is worth an entry on his own. (He is, but Snufkin's much nicer.) Cooke (talk) 15:06, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

This article is missing snapshots of Snufkin. Anyone care to add a few? White Mage Cid 00:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.167.234.84 (talk)
 * I have an SVG file I just drew that I may add as soon as I can work out the copyright on it…I drew it, but is the character copyright? Goyston talk, contribs, play 03:53, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's been uploaded. Goyston talk, contribs, play 19:00, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * With the best will in the world, and all due respect and so forth, this illustration should be removed. It's s a bit like someone else's idea of Van Gogh's Sunflowers, or Michaelangelo's David. Cooke (talk) 23:22, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I see where you're coming from. My rationale for placing it was that all images created by the original author are copyright, and will be for some time. However, a visual representation of the character in question adds significant value to the article. It wouldn't be the same if no fair-use image was available of Angelina Jolie, so someone sketched one and uploaded it, but as a cartoon character, it's different. I may be totally off-base here, though, and if you feel like it should be removed, please remove it. Be bold! Goyston talk, contribs, play 07:07, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Goyston, I'm going to remove it, with great reluctance, because it was clearly placed there with the best of intentions; but I'm glad that you fully understand why.
 * I now have a moral obligation to clear copyright for an original image of snufkin for use on WP. Cooke (talk) 20:30, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I have removed another pic. I recognize that it would be nice to have a picture but the wrong one is worse than no picture at all. Snufkin is a fictional character in a series of novels, and we don't need a picture of him.  Any pics other than those drawn by Tove Jansson are misleading and counterproductive.
