List of short stories that appeared in the New Yorker in 2005

WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not an index of short stories in the New Yorker. Nearly all of them are redlinks anyway Saikokira 00:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as this kind of list is a directory. The New Yorker is certainly welcome to keep a catalog of stories that appear in its pages.  I can imagine there might be some value as a category, but even that's somewhat dubious.  Might be worthwhile to talk about some of the major stories that have appeared in the New Yorker, in its own article, but a yearly list?  Too much. FrozenPurpleCube 00:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom, fails WP:NOT.-- Bryson { Talk } { Edits } 02:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT and the fact that this would make a much better category than a list. -- Charlene 03:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * A much better category? Only four or five of these items have blue links. How can it possibly be a category? I don't understand your point at all. Can you please explain? AndyJones 12:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I wouldn't suggest categorization by year, but given that some short stories are notable enough to be on Wikipedia, and that the New Yorker publishes a lot of short stories, having the ability to reference what's been in the New Yorker and what's not might be a good category. OTOH, a lot of magazines publish short stories, so covering them all could be a problem.  I'm not convinced of it either way, but I do see some potential.  FrozenPurpleCube 18:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, too directory-like. AndyJones 12:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete almost all redlinks, and magazine-index information of this sort isn't encyclopedic. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, this definitely falls under WP:NOT. One could make an argument for categorizing the short stories that are notable enough for a Wikipedia article, although as FrozenPurpleCube states, doing so by year is probably overcategorization.

 * Strong Delete WP:NOT violation. Acalamari 20:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Blatant violation of WP:NOT. Also, we'd have to start doing this for each year, and that would be a waste of time.  Cool Blue  Light my Fire! 21:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
