Proposed merge
This seems to small an article to stand alone, and would have relevance in discussing Jorge Luis Borges in the article proper. That is, this fragment would be informative in the context of the larger article, but doesn't really seem to need its standalone status. Why not merge it into the larger piece on the writer himself?

Disagree: You are right it is a small article and you are right in that it can lend relevance in discussing Borges, but that's not enough to merit a merger. A merger should only happen when it is believed that there will not be (or cannot be) a significant amount of expansion on an article, and there isn't a point to having it separate. There are numerous articles on Wikipedia that are written about his respective works. Of course, as good Wikipedians, we cannot use that in itself as a good reason to keep an article on its own page. This work in particular is very complex, and there is no English version available (at least not on the internet that I have been able to find). That is why there has not yet been much of an expansion. I've read pieces of the Spanish version (actually have a test on it tomorrow). There is plenty more that can be said though, so for that reason I feel the articles should remain separate. An extremely key concept in Borges is time. His discussion of it in this work is significant enough to lend enough of an importance to have a separate article.

Okay. I guess that's a pretty sound reason for not merging it. Bosola 03:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

While I agree with most of what Icehcky8 said, there is at least one English version available, in the collection Labyrinths: Selected Stories and Other Writings Alexhard 19:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there is going to be any more discussion on this matter so I removed the merger banner Alexhard 14:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
