[edit]his name is the subject of much hilarity — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.169.79.144 (talk) 14:13, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- That the articles doesn't state just how he got that nickname is telling... -- Ϫ 06:46, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- Is this conversation even necessary?
- It's such a little thing.

- œ/OlEnglish: Tiny is simply an abbreviation of Martinus. It has no size-related meaning in Dutch; just as Kox does not have any body-part-related meaning in Dutch. – gpvos (talk) 13:03, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
- According to English in the Netherlands over 90% of the Dutch fluently speak English. It's a parallel national language in practice. Just sayin'... DeCausa (talk) 00:33, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

- Is “Tiny” sufficiently WP:COMMONNAME to not move it to Martinus Kox? RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 12:00, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- @RadioactiveBoulevardier: In Dutch catholic names such as these, the proper first name is rarely used. A LexisNexis search through media articles yields 3,341 results for "Tiny Kox" and 4 results for "Martinux Kox" (all 4 are non-Dutch sources, perhaps unfamiliar with these naming conventions). - Tristan Surtel (talk) 17:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Beer or two
[edit]Twerkadactyl (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has three times added that Kox appeared on the podcast "Beer or two". I have twice reverted this as I do not believe it is notable, however I welcome further comments or intervention. -mattbuck (Talk) 18:03, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
