Talk:Shere Khan

message: Deleted the reference to Shir Khan, which was just confusing. In the books Kipling only ever uses the one spelling. Lee M 03:55, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Why does the article have a birthdate for the Disney villain? Is this information sourced from somewhere reliable -- and even if it is, is it really worth having here? AAHoug 08:17, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The start of the "Disney Version" section says:<BR><BR>
In Disney's 1967 animated adaptation of The Jungle Book, Shere Khan is the major villain, entering the story about two-thirds of the way through. His seductive, purring voice was supplied by the late George Sanders and by Carlos Petrel in the Spanish version of the movie.<BR><BR>
I understand that there should be some notability responsible for the mention of the Spanish voice of Sher Khan for the Disney version. Could someone help me out with determining what it is, exactly? I hope the way that I came out didn't sound harsh; it wasn't intended to be. Much appreciated. 98.202.38.225 (talk) 03:36, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

message: So the line 
:"The word Shere translates as "tiger" in Urdu/Hindi/Punjabi,"
is incorrect, but I'm not sure how to correct it. It seems the writer (Rudyard Kipling) himself made a mistake.

replies: text: The word 'Sher' or 'Shir' () is of Persian origin, and though it was meant for the Asiatic lion, it was also used for Bengal and Caspian tigers, as one can see here. Leo1pard (talk) 06:16, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Apparently we can't mention the fact that Shere Khan is the main antagonist of The Jungle Book, despite the fact that he is, because it's "not sourced". That's all fine and dandy, except for the fact that such a rule only seems to exist or at least be enforced on this page regarding this character. All other famous villains/antagonists have their roles as main antagonists mentioned on their pages despite having no citated sources. And on this very page and others regarding the 1994 film, it goes out of it's way to mention that Boone, a one-shot character who only appeared in one adaptation that was even further away from the original source than the animated Disney film, as the villain of that film, despite once again there being no source for that either. By comparison, the closest we get to Shere Khan, the main antagonist of the series/franchise, being referred to as such is mention of him being "a villain" in Mowgli's Story, where he was, once again, the main antagonist. So a one-shot character is referred to as "the" villain while the primary Jungle Book antagonist is referred to as "a" villain at best.
That is like removing all mentions of Bowser being the main antagonist of the Mario franchise because there's no linked source, yet constantly referring to Wart, a one shot character from Super Mario Bros 2 as the main antagonist of Mario 2 whenever he's mentioned, despite also having no linked source to said information. It's just extremely bizarre and confusing and does nothing to help with the article. If anything it's extremely misleading to readers unfamilar with the work and it's characters, which is the exact opposite of the purpose of these articles. 
So either enforce this rule for other villains/antagonists, or don't enforce it at all  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:183:C100:8B:9C16:A60C:956:F62F (talk) 18:41, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
