Talk:Goat

Deletion
I just checked the creation scene, and goats were not mentioned. Nor were they mentioned when Aslan gave some beasts speech, or when he called some of the Talking Beasts to council. Correct me if I've forgotten something, but I don't recall a reference to any goat in the entire series.Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 20:20, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

I checked, too. Can't see any mention of goats in Narnia, though there was a picture of one in Pauline Bayne's illustration of Narnia's first council. The only place where I can see any mention of anything goat is the Satyrs and Fauns, which are part goat. Storyseeker1 (talk) 01:25, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

I think that info belongs on the Satyr and Faun pages, and doesn't need a separate article. I also read in wiki talking beasts policy that illustrations don't count as canon.Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 03:29, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. But doesn't Bayne's illustrations count, since she did do the original pictures for the books when they were first published, and she worked with Lewis and everything? Storyseeker1 (talk) 09:56, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

This is a quote from the Cleanup talk page archive: "And to keep the Beast article from becoming huge, if a particular animal cannot be found in any of the books, mentioned by name (not appearing in the pictures, but in the text), then it should be removed from the article. And I suppose we should let animals clearly seen in the films in, too, with a disclaimer that it is purely film info." If you look, you can see that there was consensus in agreement with the decision. (I didn't bother to copy the agreeing comments.) This is just what I found on the talk page, so it's likely not set in stone if we need to make an exception. However, it seems like if we can't find anything less generic to say than what's on this page, it doesn't deserve to have a page at all.Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 18:37, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
