Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanka prose
There is too much emphasis in this discussion upon the title of the article, ''tanka prose''.  This is not a neologism as both of these words are well-established.  It should be considered as a descriptive phrase and we should just then explore whether there is a better phrase to describe the topic.  As an example, see the source ''http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=aDqhcWpVCOsC Prosimetrum: Crosscultural Perspectives on Narrative in Prose and Verse''. This contains chapters with titles such as ''The Prosimetric Form in the Chinese Literary Tradition'' and ''Combinations of Poetry and Prose in Classical Japanese Narrative''.  The page in question is about a narrow slice of this general topic of poetry/prose combination.  As the article prosimetrum is currently quite stubby, we should |preserve the current content to help fertilise and develop it.  When we have more content about the way that poetry and prose are combined in various literary traditions, then we will be able to assess and balance it it, per .  But while we are still working with early drafts, it seems best to be tolerant of enthusiastic efforts like this.  百花齊放，百家爭鳴 &mdash; "Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend
