Talk:Great Gatsby

If it gets merged, then "Oggsford" needs to be mentioned on that page somewhere; preferably with a header of that name. Which seems rediculous. But some lost soul trying to figure out what Oggsford is, and getting redirected to GG, they'll be plenty exasperated when they can't find Oggsford (or its origin, which this article explains) anywhere on the page. It's happened to me with ptkfgs redirecting to ytmnd. xP After Ctrl+F-ing the page, and not finding any mention of that, it took me a minute to think to do a Ctrl+F on the discussion page. And there it was, some people discussing how people should just figure out for themselves to check the External Links for ytmnd fad listings. It wasn't convenient. Heh, a bit off topic there, but you get my point. :P Nuggit 03:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Disagree. This article is unnecessary. Wolfsheim says other words in the story that are pronounced in similar ways. “Oggsford” itself, is spoken no more than half a dozen times in the book. It bears no significance to the plot nor is it important in a literary way. pmantosh 17 June 2006

Disagree with the disagreement. I would like "pmantosh" to please suggest other words that Wolfsheim pronounces in a similar way. I think that these words should be put in this encyclopedia along with the word oggsford, provided these words truly do exist. PLEASE add them. I can understand a possible concern about irrelevant information being added to Wikipedia, but this is not an inconsequential book; it is a work of art, and it is one of the great American novels. Often, it is an integral part of high school cirricula. Please help me help secondary school students everywhere.

Agree. Why not just add all of these words under one title (it may be "Oggsford" for that matter), inside the GG article? This way we'd get read of the unnessesary article on one hand, and allow everyone find the words on the other. "Oggsford" the article might then just point to GG to make it easier to locate it. -Sirubin 09:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
