thread_title: An image on this page may be deleted

message: While I agree that this article has some WP:OR problems (or just a lack of citations), deletion isn't the answer, especially not for a story this well-known. I'd like to see an effort to upgrade the article rather than a unilateral decision to delete it in favor of a redirect to the collection of the same name. Mr. Darcy talk 16:37, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

text: You are completely out of line to lecture experienced users about proper Wikipedia etiquette. Deleting an entire article without discussion, as you have done, is tantamount to vandalism. This MUST be discussed, here. Mr. Darcy talk 02:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Bull.  And I didn't delete anything, I redirected it.  WP:V is a policy, by the way.  Corvus cornixtalk 04:59, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd categorize your actions as simply being BOLD, and I'd have probably done the same thing upon coming here if I hadn't happened to have read this story a couple years ago.  Given Flannery O'Connor's notability as an author, it'd be worth having a discussion before redirecting the article wholesale.  It's after 1 in the morning where I am, but I can definitely spend some time over the next few days poking around.  This is one of her better known works, so I should be able to dig something up.

replies: text: Notably and appropriately, attempting to delete-by-redirect one of the most famous short stories in American history, was one of the last things Corvus cronix ever tried on Wikipedia. -- GreenC 01:55, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

By the way, I only did a small part of what is possible for the Background section and there is much more in the reference, the Critical companion, than what I used.

thread_title:  Article deletion 

message: Can whoever tagged it for original research specify the concerns here? The critical reception/interpretation part is sourced. There are plenty fiction articles in Wikipedia that don't have their plot summary section cited to secondary sources; perhaps that's an issue, perhaps not. Tijfo098 (talk) 07:49, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
