Someone's school essay on The Scarlet Letter. Clearly original research, and not much worth merging in at that. -℘yrop (talk) 06:10, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
- Would be worth merging if the author had any idea of alienation. Delete. —ExplorerCDT 06:21, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. What's with people posting their school papers? Wikipedia is not a school paper database. --Szyslak 07:51, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Sadly, delete rather than merge, because there is nothing particularly worth merging, but I would not want to generally discourage "donated" school papers: we got quite a running start on the History of Seattle series from one. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:44, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
- Comment: people donating their school papers is not the worst fate by a long shot. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:34, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- That's a good point. There are plenty of encyclopedic and potentially encyclopedic school papers out there. I was really complaining about unencyclopedic school papers, like this one and a few others I've seen. I once saw one that was mostly an annotated bibliography, with a "prose" section that read like a PowerPoint presentation (and probably was one!). (It was redirected, by the way.) --Szyslak 18:01, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I agree. But I also vote delete. Edeans 00:32, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
