Lyttle Lytton Contest

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While created from the obviously notable Bulwer–Lytton Fiction Contest, this contest does not seem to have substantial coverage from multiple independent and reliable sources. The creator's page also seems to indicate fairly weak notability, and certainly not notability that would be inherently inherited by his creations. Yaksar (let's chat) 18:12, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to Adam Cadre -- agree with nom there is insufficient sourcing for a stand-alone article. However there is a place for the content on Wikipedia since we have an established article for the founder of the prize, who is central to the prize. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 21:03, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Selective merge to Adam Cadre - A Google News search for "Lyttle Lytton Contest" produced results here (contains little information about the contest) and minor mentions here and here. The other relevant results are to the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. Another search provided useless blogs here, here and here. There are others but it would probably be a waste to list them all. However, before closing the search, I found this blog which supports the 2001 establishment. Honestly, this appears to be a rather humorous and meaningless (to an encyclopedia that is) contest so it probably hasn't received any serious and significant attention. If other voters support the merge, I'm willing to perform it. SwisterTwister   talk  22:55, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment As the nominator, I'm certainly willing to strike my vote and agree with a proposed merge if a consensus emerges for it, although I'd prefer to wait for another opinion or two.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
