message: I believe the soda pop Vernors has a picture of the Nain Rouge on it.( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3221/2598989210_2dab143cb1.jpg?v=0 ) Should this be included? Good Tidings - Navarro (talk) 07:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Don't assume that because you've never heard of something that therefore it is not worth inclusion. Try Googling Nain Rouge and see what you get -- 36,900 hits excluding wikipedia and derivatives -- though there is also a rock band (from Detroit, I might note) and a movie with the same name. Now I'm not saying that this is a good article -- but the subject does appear to be real (or at least as real as urban legends get). Here are just a few additional links     older ≠ wiser 13:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Sources

message: I've lived in Detroit my entire life, and have spoken with several other people regarding this subject. To date, no one has heard of this "nain rouge". The one source that is cited looks dubious at best. I am of the opinion that this entry is not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Isopropyl 06:40, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I saw some Nain Rouge graffiti on an underpass driving on Southfield Fwy. today, it said something like:
   "SEARCH WIKIPEDIA: NAIN ROUGE ..."
but I didn't get a very good look at it.  I thought it was weird to see Wikipedia mentioned in graffiti.  It's on the northbound lane around Ford or Warren (Google maps link: ).  Has anybody else seen Nain Rouge graffiti? (might be something to add to the article) --Lost-theory 03:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Nain Rouge Graffiti?

message: I've had information about the Nain Rouge up on my website Mythic Detroit for years (see www.mythicdetroit.org ), and I've never seen it associated with the Lutin or any other European mythological entities outside of this page.  I do see the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable entry, but I'd like to see something more direct linking Detroit's Nain Rouge to the Normandy one.  The association is very intriguing, but it doesn't appear to be backed up, and none of the attributes or the appearance ascribed to them (even the Quebecois variant) on the Wikipedia Lutin page seem to resemble anything either in the the written mythology of the Michigan colonial period or the limited but growing current pop cultural depiction of the Nain.

message: Bash Ted Nugent all you want - but don't throw in lame shots with mo references to support them. Got a quote in a verifiable source from either the 2010 or 2011 events or from festival supporers? Quote it or take the lame shot off the page. 157.185.95.27 (talk)mjd  —Preceding undated comment added 21:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
