Does not pass Notability (books) - Williams is notable, this collection is not. The same user created these, and they all relate to New Directions, a publishing company. I think they are articles masquerading as ads. AW (talk) 15:28, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because the same user created them for the same reason:


 * Delete all. The plays are notable, the collections thereof not, unless proven that the collection was culturally significant for some reason.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep all I've no objection to a merge to a "lesser-know works of TW" or some such. I only searched for the first one posted (easiest to search) and found a lot.

 * For the record, the author of this is generally viewed as one of the greatest playwrights every produced by the USA. Hobit (talk) 17:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree that Williams is highly notable, and if there's a play by that title, it would be notable as well. However, this article is about a particular edition of his collected plays, which is why I !voted to delete all.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * And that collection is cited in scads of books and papers, making it notable IMO. Hobit (talk) 18:31, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not though, those links you provided mention the play "Dragon Country," not this anthology, "Dragon Country: a book of one act plays." And anyway, some random bibliographical mentions aren't enough. --AW (talk) 12:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No. There is no one-act play by that name. See One act plays by Tennessee Williams. Two of the plays from the collection have been paired and produced as a DVD with the name "Dragon Country". , and that recording has 16,000 Ghits .  At the least the movie is notable, but I'd say the collection is too. Hobit (talk) 03:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge the anthologies They're nothing more than a list of what plays are in them; Williams is notable enough for there to be a list, but it shouldn't be spread out over multiple articles. DGG (talk) 00:15, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about that. There was a production of the whole set of them (available on VHS), and lots of references.  But I agree that merging the anthologies into one article is okay for now given how short the articles are presently.  But it would be easy to write entire articles about most of his plays.

 * Delete as there are no reliable secondary sources to indicate that this book is notable. --Gavin Collins (talk) 08:07, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * What's wrong with those listed above? Hobit (talk) 18:38, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge to a bibliographical list, per DGG.  Sandstein   07:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
