6070B? Now, I'm no folklorist, but the wikipedia page on Aarne-Thompson has the numbers only going up to the 2000s. Is there more that are left out of wikipedia? 134.215.213.37 (talk) 04:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. --xensyria^T 20:17, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

A good faith search of books and the web did not identify any reason to think that this story is notable. The fact that it is a real folktale is not a claim of notability. The notability guideline for books (while not strictly applicable) gives a sense of why not:

The book has been the subject of a work means non-trivial treatment (excluding mere mention of the book)
The book has won a major literary award.
The book has been made or adapted with attribution into a notable motion picture.
The book is the subject of instruction at multiple schools.
The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable.

The article (and subsequent searching) does not find any of these criteria to be applicable, nor is the general notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in [independent] reliable sources".

See the Further reading section for point 1 and the number of notable authors who have written or edited versions of the story should satisfy point 5. --xensyria^T 00:13, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't notice that this had been raised at AfD with the conclusion to keep. --xensyria^T 00:20, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming[edit]

Since only certain Irish versions are named "The King o' the Cats", and the others use "King of the Cats" (including the first published version), I propose the article be moved to The King of the Cats, and will do so unless there are any objections. --xensyria^T 00:19, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking more closely, "King o' the Cats" was actually just the title of Jacobs' story, and also the "cat quote" (but not title) from Burne's - all other versions I've found so far use "The King of the Cats". Since there have been no objections I've made the move. --xensyria^T 21:38, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Related to the first century story of "The Death of Pan" ?[edit]

How is it related to the story of the death of Pan? Am I missing something? Acorrector (talk) 18:21, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
