Talk:Halfling

Deletion
Why is this article marked for deletion? It seems legitimate, though inconsistent. If Halflings were invented exclusively for the movies (though I can recall no mention of them), then how could they have possibly been at Stable Hill? That was in The Last Battle, of which there has been no movie made, and there may not ever be one. They must have been mentioned in the books, or they could not have been there. Or maybe somebody made them up, which doesn't seem likely. Anyway, somebody with more knowledge and expertise than myself ought to look into these inconsistencies and clear them up. If nothing regarding these misnamed Halflings can be verified, then delete the article, but if they really were in the movie, then leave it. Rain Thalo 02:11, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I would agree that this article is massively inconsistent, even if it is to be considered canon in the vaguest sense of the word. Halflings were never mentioned in the books, and if they were inserted into any of the adaptations, they appeared unnamed, merely as background fillers. This would of course bring to question where the name came from in the first place. As with many of the other articles about similar creatures, the plot involvement of these has certainly been extrapolated, to put them in situations that are not ever seen to be in. If the article is not to be deleted, could the main author possibly show his sources? Poggin 09:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The more I think a out it, the more it sounds like somebody actually did make this up. First of all, the name "Halfling" does not fit the description at all.  The size of Cyclopes?  Cyclopes are basically giants, just a little smaller.  As Poggin suggests, would main author please come out and defend himself? Rain Thalo 11:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Spenpiano: Your right! I guess Halflings don't appear in the the Chronicles of Narnia series. For a second, I thought they would exist. But no, I think the article should be deleted.
 * I agree, now that it has been established that they are not in Narnia at all. Still, I encourage the main author to come forward and explain why s/he wrote it. Rain Thalo 19:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
