Poorly referenced list that fails WP:NLIST. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:41, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Fraternities and sororities?? Why? -Mushy Yank. 22:41, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment We have The Adventures of Tintin#Settings and a couple of articles on fictional locations in the series such as Syldavia and Borduria. Purely cataloguing which locations appear in which stories as is done here doesn't seem helpful, however. It might be possible to write a stand-alone article about how locations are used in the series based on sources analysing that subject, but the bulk of this article is basically just a bunch of WP:RAWDATA.

• Merge to The Adventures of Tintin#Settings. Goustien (talk) 01:50, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The article is simply a mass of WP:RAWDATA without any reference to how these places tie into the Tintin series, and the way they are depicted. TH1980 (talk) 04:43, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: covered as a set in https://www.cnrseditions.fr/catalogue/geographie-territoires/les-geographies-de-tintin/; with certain regions also addressed as a set in various sources, including https://orientxxi.info/lu-vu-entendu/l-arabie-de-tintin,1628 https://www.topito.com/top-pays-imaginaires-tintin All the countries are listed in Géopolitique. Atlas des 160 lieux stratégiques du monde. (2018). Editions Ellipses There are plenty of other sources on the topic in Tintin dictionaries. So meets WP:NLIST, and is a good SPLIT. -Mushy Yank. 19:30, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I think this is a very good source, but someone needs to use it to move this article beyond a pure plot summary. Until then this can be redirected. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:39, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep needs to be better sourced, but does appear to have been covered as a set by secondary sources. SportingFlyer T·C 01:33, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The OR delete votes are incorrect - while there's a chance a list item or two might be OR, since I haven't reviewed the sources completely, this list has clearly been the topic of secondary coverage. SportingFlyer T·C 22:45, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• delete There is a great deal of interest in Herge's choice of settings and the way he depicts them, and especially how that changed over time, which material could be used to expand the paragraph in the main article. But this listing is largely trivia, and it doesn't do anything towards that understanding. To be blunt, it's the sort of east stamp-collecting list article that WP authors write instead of grappling with the real work of writing a coherent analysis. Looking at the British sublist, for instance, most of it has to do with The Black Island, which, duh, is set there, and the rest are incidental and lack context. There are many entries which are only passing mentions, again without any context. Yeah, sure, you can make such an article, but really, the actually useful list information already appears in a list of the works themselves, because it's the larger setting of each— Russia, America, Peru, Arabia, and so forth— that are worth "listing".

• Delete per TH1980. This is mostly unsourced WP:OR, and redundant with The Adventures of Tintin#Settings. It's not tenable to create separate lists of every scene from a piece of fuction. A redirect or selective merge may be an acceptable compromise, per WP:ATD. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Article is mostly unsourced and potentially contained OR. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 22:27, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
