| Thusly, I say we only need to list one refrence, and I vote it be Magic.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 07:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC) | | Thusly, I say we only need to list one refrence, and I vote it be Magic.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 07:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC) |
- | :I agree, Magic is likely the reference, being such a well-known card game. Not to mention similar names and design. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

- | "Vornado" is actually the name of two unrelated companies that well predate this e-mail. One of them (likely the most relevant) is a manufacturer of air conditioners and fans that's been around since 1989 (actually reviving a brand name from the World War II era, according to their website: vornado.com). The other one (which is more likely coincidence) is a real estate holding trust based out of New York. The former, at least, could be worthy of a Real World Reference mention, seeing as how the product is related to moving air. '''''[[user:Kyojikasshu|kyojikasshu]]''''' 23:06, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

- | :I second this. [https://www.vornado.com/home Vornado] is a fairly well known manufacturer of fans. The name is quite likely a reference to it. --[[Special:Contributions/98.194.172.173|98.194.172.173]] 01:33, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

- | ::Is there anything in the reference itself to tie it to the company? It doesn't seem like "there's a company also called that" is enough of a connection to say it's a reference. It seems more like a reference to how this genre of game tends to create new cool-sounding character and attack names, often by portmantizing two words related to what's being described. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:47, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

- | This email contains the phrase "trading cardery". If I add this to [[Kick-A-Ball]]'s statement of "vehement catapultery", I've got two. Anyone want to volunteer a third? (Maybe barber wizardry, or [[haircut|barbzerdry]]). -- [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 23:45, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

- | :Update. [[I Killed Pom Pom]] gives us a mention of Stitch Witchery, but the article says that's an actual brand name. So it's not a made-up word, but it fits the general pattern I'm trying to communicate. -- [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 02:05, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

- | ::If we can come up with three appearances, I think this seems like a fine page. But only nonexistent words should be included, so your first two examples seem fine, but wizardry and witchery are real words. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 04:18, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
