Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hate week
With regard to Sadads's citation of the Wikipedia:Notability_(fiction)|proposed fiction notability guidelines, one must consider what is written in the paragraphs immediately preceding those three numbered criteria, specifically: " Before proposing that an article is to be |deleted, it is important to not just consider whether the existing article meets these inclusion criteria, but whether it's subject has the ''|potential'' to do so. All Wikipedia articles are |unfinished, and an article can be notable if sources exist but have not yet been used in the article. ... These criteria are not exhaustive, nor universally agreed upon, but are a guide to how to best organise content" The Two Minutes Hate is a key thematic element in the novel 1984 as it typifies the nature of the control of both thoughts and actions which the dystopian state exerts on its denizens. This level of control and its effects on society is the entire rhetorical point of the novel; the Two Minutes Hate is used as a shorthand, just like Big Brother, in both quotidian and academic writing to allude to this. That is in addition to the notion of the Two Minutes Hate being relevant in academic discussions of dystopic literature.
