Classic Horror Novels

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Whilst there may be classic horror novels I don't see any evidence (and certainly none is presented here) that there exists a definied, univerally accepted, list of just six. Appears to fail WP:OR and WP:V. Ros0709 (talk) 22:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong, possibly speedy delete Term is at best a neologism, but in reality more likely to be bollocks. The inclusion of Anne Rice in a list of Victorian horror novels rather gives the game away. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 23:21, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and quickly. Totally arbitrary list. POV is unavoidable, and it's OR. xschm (talk) 00:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Frankenstein and The Mummy were written "around the Victorian era"? (And The Phantom of the Opera was only for a loose interpretation of "around.") Clearly childish original research. Deor (talk) 04:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
