This has been tagged for 8 years as WP:OR (the tag was added by User:TenPoundHammer). I sadly concur that what we have here is a OR-ish WP:ESSAY in need of WP:TNT. Google Scholar/Books search show there is no such concept as "Ideology of Tintin". Now, both the comic author and his individual books received good amount of coverage, and so there are few tidbits here and there that could be merged to Hergé, The Adventures of Tintin or one of dozen+ specific books his stories are collected in that are almost all notable (at least I assume so...). Through in most cases, those issues are already dicussed there, making this article a SYNTH POVFORK (for example, accusations of anti-semitic themes are discussed at lenght, with better references, at Flight_714_to_Sydney#Critical_analysis already). Anyway, no, there is no "Ideology of Tintin", and this mostly unreferenced essay is beyond clean up, IMHO. PS. Prior AfD from 2007 was not linked on the article's talk page, but the nom also noted OR. The consensus back then was "rescue by adding references since WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES". Which hasn't happened in a decade plus. Sigh. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:56, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - Complete WP:OR. If it contains any legitimate ideas, it should be restarted in the main article only with the support of proper sourcing. TTN ( talk) 14:03, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
