[edit] St. Leonard in Black Adder
Is it realy relevant to understanding St. Leonard to see how he is venerated in Black Adder? Shall we include here in this article a list of every television show, novel, song, film, commericial, magazine, and play that mentions St. Leonard? What would be the point? I imagine for St. Leonard that the list would not be over long, but what precedent does that set? What if we did the same for St. Peter or even St. Nicholas/Santa Claus?
I think the Black Adder content is appropriate to a Black Adder article, but does not contribute to an article about St. Leonard. It is a one-way reference.imars (talk) 07:58, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- The Blackadder reference isn't even clearly related to this particular St. Leonard, and is seemingly unrelated, as it claims he's a eunuch. Maybe its a reference to some other St. Leonard, I honestly don't know, but I can't think that it's really even remotely appropriate to this article. John Carter (talk) 13:58, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Here is the disputed content moved from the article page: imars (talk) 07:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
- ==In popular media==
- The second episode of the 1983 British sitcom The Black Adder features a St. Leonard's Day celebration in which the traditional "frolics" are said to include Morris dancers, eunuchs and bearded women. It is not entirely certain if the program is referring to the "real" St. Leonard, as he is described as having been a eunuch himself.
