The Street of the Four Winds

Don't think this short story is notable. It should be part of the article on the collection The King in Yellow Op47 (talk) 22:56, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

The problem with the page is that it is far too short, but so is my description of Demoiselle d'Ys. I suggest you only delete on the grounds of inadequate description, not on the grounds that the story is not one of the weird ones. It is poetically macabre and has significant French writers behind it such as Gautier and Nodier. Several critics have singled it out as a fine one from the latter half of the book. The whole book is noteworthy and at present Wikipedia only takes the Lovecraft reader's point of view. Whitespeck (talk) 23:45, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

PS - How does one delete a page? My description of Charles Nodier's La Fee aux Miettes using just the symbolism doesn't work and I think that this page should be deleted, but I don't know how to do this. I put it up. Whitespeck (talk) 23:44, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. If you are the creator and only substantial contributor to an article, you can request that it be speedily deleted by placing a tag in the first line, preferably including an explanatory note in the edit summary. If you think that someone else might want to rescue the article (especially if they have made non-trivial changes already), you can follow the proposed deletion process instead.

 * Merge to The King in Yellow. It's not clear that there is a good case for independent notability, anyway, and readers are better served by incorporating the small amount of material here into the main article. Would similarly suggest merging The Demoiselle d'Ys, which would be fine to do without an Afd. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 15:35, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I have added descriptions to the stories on the main article and removed the link to this story. I would be interested in comments, criticisms, etc. Whitespeck (talk) 21:02, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
