name
80s Robot is not the name of this character. It's just what the writer of the comingsoon.net article called it. The robot's name is printed on the character's chest. It's M______ Modern 1000. I can't make out the first word, even in the highest definition video available. I'm not opposed to the existence of this article, but it's improperly named, and really too soon to bother having an article at this point anyway, especially in this clunky state. I nominate for deletion at this time. We can recreate when we know more about the character than can be observed in its few seconds of video available on the internet. —Scott

- I agree. When I added him to the Robot page, I was just going along with the existing name that was on this page. I think '80s Robot is a silly name anyway, and yes, clearly not what the real name will be.--Gonzofan 03:20, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Amy Adams has also called it 80's Robot: http://www.slashfilm.com/muppets-amy-adams-interview/
- It may be A name, possibly a nick-name, but it might not be his official name.--Gonzofan 20:17, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why we're sure that it's not his name. The writer of the Comingsoon.net article uses the name five times, and there doesn't seem to be any hesitation about it. If we're confident about the name "Miss Poogy", then I don't see any evidence that the robot character's name isn't "'80s Robot". Amy Adams using that name is more confirmation. It's possible that the robot has a model number printed on his chest, but everyone in the movie calls him '80s Robot.
- I like having this article because it's obviously a character that people are interested in learning more about -- you see him in the preview, and you want to know who he is. Right now, this article shows the current state of our knowledge about the character, and I think it's appropriate. If it turns out that the character has a different name, then we can change the article name at that point. -- Danny (talk) 20:39, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
- I can only speak for myself, but I'm fine with anything at this point. I'm just trying not to make any waves! ;) So since most people seem to be ok with it, that is fine by me. Scott had a valid point, but ultimately, Danny is right, we can always change the name later if need be. I'll go ahead and put him back in the Robot page then.--Gonzofan 21:29, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
- I think we should wait for a reliable conformation of the name, like a press release about the film mentioning the character or the film itself. We can also look for reliable confirmations. In the meantime, this page should stay, in my opinion. Once we know more, we can update and rename the article (unless it is called '80s Robot, which may be true, but its probably not). :)--Fred (talk) 00:37, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
- Muppet Mindset article...if its name turns out not to be '80s Robot, we can rename the article later. I think this is settled. I don't have my own computer now, so I can't try that myself at the moment.--Fred (talk) 01:17, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
