There was a TV show with underwater creatures called Snorks who used the word "snork" as the Smurfs use "smurf".
My assumption is that the Snorks were a Smurfs copy. If anyone knows the real story and could add a small section, that would be helpful.
Than you.

In the subject name, it is said that Smurf is a Dutch translation of the name for the Stroumpf.
That is not exactly right. The word Smurf didn't exist in the Dutch language until then.

What you have written there is a classical example of original research. The policy
WP:NOR explicitly prohibits us from adding content to articles based on original research. If you can find a notable
reliable source that says the same thing, it may make sense to include it.

Three apples high
The article wrongly claims the Smurfs are "three apples high". They were probably described thusly in the original texts, but "three apples high" is a French idiom meaning "very small", and must not be taken literally. If you look at the comics, you can see the Smurfs are actually smaller than that.
I have put it in quotes, as it is indeed not "our" official measurement, but a quote from the original comics (in French of course) and from the Smurf.com website (the reference after the statement).

Shouldn't this article have some representative picture of a smurf?
Maybe a low-resolution comic panel or something? It should be fair use in this context. It seems weird that the only depictions of smurfs here are sculptures, when the subject is a long running comic book / animated video series. –

Support. While at least some of the early books are certainly notable (e.g. the Black/Purple Smurfs
[1], but also the anti-fascist King Smurf, or
Schtroumpf Vert et Vert Schtroumpf about the Belgian language divide), they can always be recreated if and when someone is willing to write a decent article. Until then, a redirect to a list would be best (also for other series like Yoko Tsuno or Buck Danny or most European comics, though not Tintin obviously).

Support yes, definitely, excellent idea. As @
Fram says that preserves page history should any be suitable for standalone articles down the line, and shows respect for the work on the original pages while making an article that's more suitable for Wikipedia =)

The
Example (comics) disambiguator for comics series is pretty well-established by
WP:NCCDAB, and the article does cover the series as a whole, so I am hesitant to move that page. We could either include prose list entries at the bottom of this article (and use in-page links to help readers jump down), or we could have just tables/line-item lists in this article and link to sections of the new article for the prose list entries. —

I would create the "List of ..." as a redirect to The Smurfs (comics) or a subsection, rather than moving the current article. It discussed the magazine publications, Marvel issues, and so on, which go beyond the simple "list of". And then also redirect the vast majority of the individual comics articles, without prejudice against recreating those that are notable and where someone will actually show this in the article. I would at first glance not redirect
The Purple Smurfs,
King Smurf, and perhaps
The Smurfette and
Schtroumpf Vert et Vert Schtroumpf (some good sources but not a lot of content). The others, as they stand, have no reason to remain separate articles.

Fair. I've redirected the red link (list) for now. I'll be slowly redirecting the rest, time and will permitting, and I'll take a second look at the ones you mentioned. If you could find sources for any that you prefer to remain as articles, and good sources you are aware of are not present in the articles, mentioning said sources on talk and adding {{sources exist}} to the current article would be very helpful.

Re
this. Please see
MOS:MINORWORK: we need to use quotation marks for the titles of "Story lines that span multiple issues of a periodical". This paragraph is about a story line that spans multiple issues of a periodical. Same page says: "The convention of italicizing non-English words and phrases does not apply to proper names; thus, a title of a short non-English work simply receives quotation marks.". --

This is not just such a story line, this is a complete story from a notable series, intended to (and actually published as) a separate and important work, though with the title slightly altered. This is not some story line which doesn't exist as a separate work, this is a full comic album and later movie.

This paragraph is not about the separate work. The separate work, La Flûte à six Schtroumpfs, is a comic album. "La Flûte à six trous" is a story (the article says that), not a comic album. "Minor" here just means that it is not a separate work in its original form. --

It's the exact same work. "all subsequent publications of the original story were retitled La Flûte à six Schtroumpfs ", the "album" is a "story" as well. It's not a minor work within a later album. It doesn't change from a minor to a major work just by getting one word in the title changed.
Fram (

It does change from a minor work to a separate work when it becomes a separate work (published on its own—even if the content is exactly the same).
MOS:MINORWORK is as explicit as it gets: we need to use quotation marks for the titles of "Story lines that span multiple issues of a periodical". --

Yes, the very same storyline also exists as a separate work (published under a different name). But the article says, "In 1958, Spirou magazine started to publish the Johan et Pirlouit story..." In this context we are not talking about the separate work, we are talking about its non-separate version. --
