Talk:Sportacus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] IMDB

Is IMDB a valid source to say that Sportacus' name comes from The Simpsons? Isn't IMDB also user-edited? Kat, Queen of Typos 02:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the speculation for now. See WP:Reliable sources#Bulletin boards, wikis and posts to Usenet Kat, Queen of Typos 09:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Could his name possibly come from Spartacus, the gladiator? This might not have rung true with the Icelandic name however... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leemorrison (talk • contribs) 22:27, 10 December 2006 (UTC).

That would be the obvious, but until we get info from a reliable source on where the name originated, we can't really put it in the article. Kat, Queen of Typos 23:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I thought it was a kinda portmanteau on "Sport" and "Spartacus", or just "Sport" being extended to sound like a person's name. Aurora sword 01:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

- Indeed it is. The Simpsons thing probably came from joining both words, too. It was a sports shop in an episode I can't remember, I think that's just a coincidence. --201.228.205.76 (talk) 21:44, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Race

Is his race human or elf? I remember Robby making several comments referring to Sportacus as an elf "...that blue elf". Was it ever established that he was an elf? His ears are always covered and his eyes are pretty blue. That and the magic crystal and possibly coming from the north. But all this is just speculation.
