Talk:The Magnificent

Memo from the Dept. of Nitpicking: This article says that Bilbo called Smaug "the Magnificent". Actually, Bilbo calls him "Your Magnificence" just before he scampers up the tunnel (followed by a blast of fire from the dragon). Should a separate article be made due to the difference between an adjective and a noun, or should this article be edited a bit, or is it OK as is (with a reference added)? -- Gamling 23:20, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed this when I did the Smaug article; it really bugged me that "The Magnificent" crops up everywhere but no where in the text. Is this an example of fanon? +1 for deleting this. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 23:25, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- ;) +1 for deleting it altogether. It's not properly a "title", just a honorary name used by Bilbo once, as far as I can understand.--Morgan 23:26, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oh my, yes we should delete this. -- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 23:29, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
