Semi-protected edit request on 14 September 2020[edit]

i suggest adding Futaba Sakura into the references in pop culture section. Futaba Sakura is a fictional character from the game Persona 5 who's persona (kinda hard to explain, just think of it as a pokemon) is necronomicon[1] [2] Jjatr (talk) 15:00, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: According to the article entry Futaba Sakura doesn't seem to meet criteria? It's just a name, nothing more? Moreover, the claim in the article isn't supported by the source, so I've tagged that as well. Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:18, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Abdul Alhazred" grammar[edit]

There's a sourced statement at the end of Necronomicon#Origin that "the name of the book's supposed author, Abdul Alhazred, is not even a grammatically correct Arabic name". Wikipedia users have made similar claims at Talk:Abdul Alhazred#Al Hazred's true name and Talk:Necronomicon/Archive 1#Abdul Alhazred, Arabic grammar. But I found two articles on real people with such names: Abdul Al-Ghadi and Abdul Al Salam Al Hilal. Both are Yemeni. I don't know if that's a coincidence, or if this supposed error is accepted in Yemeni names. Even though the statement in the article is sourced, I question the utility of critiquing this fictional name. --BDD (talk) 15:18, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you can make a blog post about this somewhere, but your original research isn't really applicable to Wikipedia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:41, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? I’m not proposing adding a claim to the article that the name is grammatically correct. My concern is that the existing statement, though verifiable, could be wrong, and doesn’t add much to the article anyway. BDD (talk) 20:39, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a Necromonicon Easter egg in Return of the King?[edit]

What is your published source for this question? Remember, we don't accept original research and speculation.--Orange Mike | Talk 02:49, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Olaus Wormius 1588-1654[edit]

In the section "Fictional history" Olaus Wormius (Ole Worm) year of death is put as 1624, but it is 1654. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Worm 130.225.254.30 (talk) 06:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims Ole Worm died in 1624, which is not correct, he died 1654. 89.36.204.67 (talk) 17:49, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional?[edit]

Yeah, it's definitely NOT fictional! You can read it. I have read it. Countless people have. Who writes these articles? 79.106.203.86 (talk) 07:32, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article makes it clear that:
  1. The "real" Necronomicon is fictional.
  2. There are multiple books - mostly compilations of short stories - that are also called the Necronomicon.
  3. There also exist hoaxes purporting to be either the original, or translations of the book.
You've most likely read number #2, but possibly (although unlikely) also #3.
That doesn't make the Necronomicon not fictional. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
