List of short stories
Am I the only one that finds this article completely inane? I mean, there are thousands of short stories to talk about. Even then, who's to decide which ones are more significant? A story that could mean a bunch to one person could be next to meaningless to someone else. I say we make this a deletion candidate. User_talk:Volcanictelephone

 * Categorize. I am all for lists, but this would be unmaintainable. The market for short stories is large and scores of those have been published. We may even make a Category:Short stories by Edgar Allen Poe as this list seems to be heavily biased towards him. - Mgm|(talk) 19:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
