Delete as blatant, uncited WP:OR - reads like an essay. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 20:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. It's a essay and entirely OR, nothing to be salvaged.  The same applies to the other articles that the originating editor has created. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 20:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not for student essays. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete "Mom, I put my term paper on Wikipedia" is not an uncommon occurence. I'd give this one a C+ if I were grading it.  Regardless, even the best essay is still original research.  While one can cite to published sources that one might agree with, drawing your own conclusions isn't the basis for a Wikipedia article.  Needless to say, this article is not the first to view The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde within the context of the Victorian society of Stevenson's day.  The book has been examined for more than a century by scholars.  Mandsford (talk) 12:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
