Snorks?

There was a TV show with underwater creatures called Snorks who used the word "snork" as the Smurfs use "smurf". My assumption is that the Snorks were a Smurfs copy. If anyone knows the real story and could add a small section, that would be helpful. Than you. four tildes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.207.235 (talk) 18:52, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Of course it's a copy, or a tribute, I don't know, as the "schtroumpfs" are much older. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.91.51.235 (talk) 03:22, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

In the subject name, it is said that Smurf is a Dutch translation of the name for the Stroumpf. That is not exactly right. The word Smurf didn't exist in the Dutch language until then. Reinrovers (talk) 20:35, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Smurf Economy = Communism

The Smurf economy as currently described in the article is completely identical to communism. It even paraphrases From each according to his ability to each according to his needs. I feel this should probably be mentioned, and the article for communism should be added as a Template:See_also or Template:Main. Crockett623 (talk) 11:21, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

What you have written there is a classical example of original research. The policy WP:NOR explicitly prohibits us from adding content to articles based on original research. If you can find a notable reliable source that says the same thing, it may make sense to include it. HiLo48 (talk) 18:09, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Three apples high

The article wrongly claims the Smurfs are "three apples high". They were probably described thusly in the original texts, but "three apples high" is a French idiom meaning "very small", and must not be taken literally. If you look at the comics, you can see the Smurfs are actually smaller than that.

I have put it in quotes, as it is indeed not "our" official measurement, but a quote from the original comics (in French of course) and from the Smurf.com website (the reference after the statement). Fram (talk) 17:29, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Shouldn't this article have some representative picture of a smurf?

Maybe a low-resolution comic panel or something? It should be fair use in this context. It seems weird that the only depictions of smurfs here are sculptures, when the subject is a long running comic book / animated video series. –jacobolus (t) 04:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Video game

Proposal: merge individual Smurt albums into the List of The Smurfs albums

I suggest merging most if not all Smurf albums into a single list, as I fear they fail WP:GNG (right now they seem to be very badly written, with no references, some are misisng infoboxes, and of course none have info on awards, reception,e tc. They are listed here: Category:The Smurfs books. Similar things have been done following Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Les Collines noires to many Lucky Luck albums (List of Lucky Luke albums). See also test case of Les Schtroumpfs Joueurs, where after my talk request for sources (unanswered) and then a prod, it was redirected here by User:Kvng. I'll also ping participants of the mentioned AfD: User:Fram, User:BoomboxTestarossa, User:Siroxo, User:Sgeureka. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
