	** I second that obviously: "trivia" means general knowledge. Also we will never see symbolic values if we treat each deer separately, even if the one in [[Lizards]] on the blossom field is 17th century... --[[User:Juba\|Juba]] 14:02, 17 March 2008 (EDT)		** I second that obviously: "trivia" means general knowledge.

			** I haven't ever been able to contact [[John O'Hara]], but I can ask [[Micah Gunnell]]. However, there has been just as much confirmation that the deer ''wasn't'' a reference to the movie as there has been confirmation that the deer ''was'' a reference to the movie (i.e. in both cases, absolutely none). We include comparisons to other works in the trivia/notes sections only when they references are overt or they're mentioned in interviews, commentaries, etc. That's the reason we deleted ''[[Talk:Friday Night Lights\|Friday Night Lights]]'': there was no confirmed connection. Adding a note about ''The Deer Hunter'' seems like it's forcing a connection where there simply is none. The movie has nothing to do with deer, and this deer has nothing to do with the movie. The fact that Linderman just got home from Vietnam ''may'' be the reason the animal was chosen (to reference the title of the movie, I suppose), but I'd much rather have confirmation of that fact. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 14:31, 17 March 2008 (EDT)
