List of adaptations of The Picture of Dorian Gray

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article substantially edited during an AFD at a prior title. That AFD closed as delete, but at deletion review the closing admin agreed that it should be relisted to have a discussion solely of the new article. Technical nomination from me, I have no opinion. GRBerry 14:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, obviously, I'd even say speedily. no reason has been offered for deletion of this article apart from overstrict adherence to the rules. -R. fiend 14:50, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually move to Adaptations of The Picture of Dorian Gray. The "list of" is unecessary. -R. fiend 15:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well formated, focused and not an indiscriminate list of trivia. -- Stbalbach 15:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I assume this was originally a spinoff article from The Picture of Dorian Gray, as such it's no different from the film/stage/other media sections of most literature articles. -Markeer 15:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Move to "Adaptation/Adaptations of The Picture of Dorian Gray" (singular or plural; I suppose each has minor pros and cons) and hope that this can be delistified and turned into a proper article. -- Hoary 16:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Move as suggested above. Arkyan 16:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as a decent start on the sort of article that this sort of article ought to be. Needs sourcing of course. No opinion on the move sugestion. Otto4711 16:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Otto4711. Also, I support a page-move to Adaptations of The Picture of Dorian Gray.  -- Black Falcon 01:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have no idea what the earlier version looked like, but this is perfectly encyclopedic. Given the anti-list bias around here (I won't be a hypocrite - I regularly vote to delete such articles, too), I agree with moving the article per Black Falcon to remove the list stigma. 23skidoo 05:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Move though with caution that not every adaptation is necessarily notable. I raised the original AfD and this is now a different looking article and I'm happy to be guided on its suitability. MLA 15:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
