List of references in Against the Day

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

One big piece of original research: someone have read the book and collected various references to various bizarrely unrelated things: from historical events to unusual words. IMO a glaring example of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. `'Míkka>t 00:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:OR and merge any useful info. to the book's page. JJL 00:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - This article was previously nominated for deletion and the result of that discussion was Keep. Cumulus Clouds 03:26, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment on comment. I reviewed the argument there and my objection still stands: no evidence provided that some reputable scholar undertook this kind of trivia-minig in this book, hence this is OR, of unconfirmed importance/notability, too. `'Míkka>t 03:42, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment; What is this article meant to be? Is it just a list of topics mentioned in a book, or is there some significance to this randomness that has been well-hidden by the editors of the list? Masaruemoto 04:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * As I understand this, this list was clipped out of the main article, just like it was done with various lists of trivia or "cultural references". BTW both trivia and "culturefs" are being mercilessly deleted from wikipedia now. `'Míkka>t 04:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: It is still OR. - Rjd0060 05:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete; Unless there is some significant connection between Oscar Wilde, Tetris, Dynamite, and Siberia that I don't know about, this is a list of loosely associated topics. Masaruemoto 05:30, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge: As per WP:OR and merge any relevant content back to the book article -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 09:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
