There is a hidden note in the criticism section indicating that the section has been discussed at length on the talk page. I don't see that discussion anywhere. Has it been archived? Can anyone point me to its location? Thank you. SunCrow (talk) 17:01, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
The criticism section is far too long. I also question the notability of the entire "Accusations of gender stereotyping" sub-section. It appears to fail WP:Fringe and WP:Undue, given that it contains extremist terminology like "gender stereotypes" to describe the ordinary behavior of adolescent girls, and it gives undue credence and weight to the fringe view that gender norms/roles are somehow bad, even though the vast majority of people in the world regard gender norms as a good thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chideegwen (talk • contribs) 15:54, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
A fellow named Michael Ward believes he has uncovered a one-to-one mapping between the Narnia books and the classical/renaissance mythology of the planets (PhD thesis, published as “Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C. S. Lewis “). Among many other persuasive ideas, this would anchor the book-order to the originally published order (beginning with The Lion, Ward’s “Jove”).
Tying Narnia to Lewis’s life-long immersion in Renaissance literature is, of course, a bonus. Jackrepenning (talk) 00:23, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
So, every time I try to include the a reference to "Further Up, Further In" by the Waterboys, someone deletes it. Here is the most recent version that you deleted :
The song "Further Up, Further In" from the album Room to Roam by Scottish-Irish folk-rock band The Waterboys is heavily influenced by The Chronicles of Narnia, with the title coming from a passage in The Last Battle. C. S. Lewis is acknowledged in the liner notes as an influence.
The reason you gave was "Odd Linking." I don't know if you meant "discuss on Talk" here or on the page for The Chronicles of Narnia. I see now that the song "Further Up, Further In" does not have its own Wikipedia entry; I thought it did. The other links resolve so far as I can tell. I do not know how to cite the liner notes of a CD. (Actually, my earlier attempts to use the citation generation tools even for conventional books and journals have resulted in disaster.) The Wikipedia entry for Room to Roam does acknowledge C.S. Lewis as the source of the song title, and no, I did not write that entry.
I suppose it is improper to link to The Chronicles of Narnia within that article, and C.S. Lewis will have already been linked previously by this point. So, if I change the entry to the following, will you allow it to stand?
The song "Further Up, Further In" from the album Room to Roam by Scottish-Irish folk-rock band The Waterboys is heavily influenced by The Chronicles of Narnia. The title is taken from a passage in The Last Battle, and one verse of the song describes sailing to the end of the world to meet a king, similar to the ending of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. C. S. Lewis is explicitly acknowledged as an influence in the liner notes of the 1990 compact disc.

I have checked the Talk page archive, but could not find a reason for why in § Reading order, the Earth internal chronology for The Horse and His Boy is bracketed (though I could have missed it). I'm sure there's a reason why only this year is bracketed, but it is not obvious in the text as to why this article displays it as [1940]
. Perhaps adding hidden text to the article would be a good place to explain this, if not in the visible article itself.
Is it because the four Pevensie children as a group, have not yet stumbled back out of the wardrobe, and so their frame of reference to Earth remains fixed to when they first entered Narnia as a group? — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 16:34, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Major spoiler in the description of the article! I was looking forward to reading the series but thank you now I know Narnia is destroyed in the last book? 166.181.81.251 (talk) 12:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
